96 DAYS OF THE EASTER SEASON 2017

In 2017, beginning on March 1st and ending on June 4th, the milestone events leading up to and following the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ are as follows:

1.      Ash Wednesday         Day   1      Wednesday    March 01, 2017
2.      Palm Sunday             Day 40      Wednesday    April 09, 2017
3.      Maundy Thursday    Day 44      Thursday       April 13, 2017
4.      Good Friday              Day 45      Friday            April 14, 2017
5.      Easter Vigil                Day 46      Saturday        April 15, 2017
6.      Easter Sunday           Day 47      Sunday           April 16, 2017
7.      Ascension                   Day 86      Thursday       May 25, 2017
8.      Pentecost                    Day 96      Sunday           June 04, 2017

On March 1, 2017, we began the Easter Season with the celebration of Ash Wednesday.  

Usually, we think of the Easter Season as beginning on Ash Wednesday, extending through the Palm Sunday Procession into Jerusalem, onto the Good Friday Crucifixion at the Place of the Skull, and ending with the Easter Sunday Resurrection at the tomb.  

That’s a total of 47 days.  Lent is the 40 day period (40 always representing testing) from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday.  Easter Week is the 7 day period from Palm Sunday through Good Friday to Easter Sunday. 

For my purposes in the article, I want to say that the Easter Season extends from Ash Wednesday on March 1, 2017 to Pentecost on Sunday on June 4, 2017.  

That’s a period of 96 days.  In that period, we have the 47 days described above, plus the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven on the 86th day, plus 10 more days to Pentecost when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to fill His disciples.  

Pentecost occurs on the 50th day from the Resurrection.  The number 50 signifies the infilling of the Holy Spirit and Jubilee.  In the Old Testament, Jubilee occurred every 50 years.  Jubilee deals largely with land, property, and property rights.  Slaves and prisoners were freed, debts were forgiven, and the mercies of God were particularly manifested.

Many Christians observe the season of Lent, the 40 day period from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday.  During that season, people do some things differently in recognition of the Easter Season, including fasting, additional Bible reading and prayer, attending additional church services, watching movies about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and generally being, in a sense, more focused and reverent during this time.  
The culmination of the season is the Resurrection of Christ.

For the 96 day period I am considering, I want to extend the Lenten sacrifices and adoration beyond the recognition of the Resurrection onto the recognition of Pentecost.

Does God Do E-Mail? Does God Have An E-Mail List? E-Mail. What did some of us do before E-Mail?  Paper, envelope, and stamps - now called snail mail because it took days.  E-Mail is "instant", consistent with the way we live today. E-Mail: "Electronic mail, most commonly referred to as email or e-mail since approximately 1993, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks". [Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email] E-Mail has been around since approximately 1993 , 20 years ago.  So, now is an anniversary.  About that time, I remember someone talking about how they could instantly communicate with a daughter who went off to college.  That was before I even had a home computer.  I never forgot that story by that father.  I wanted to be able to E-Mail. What's the one thing that we expect to receive from sending our an...

FRANK M. BARBUSH, The Grandfather I Never Knew

Frank M. Barbush FRANK M. BARBUSH, The Grandfather I Never Knew I never met my father's father, my grandfather, Frank M. Barbush.  Suddenly, out of the blue, seeing his picture, I had the thought that, "If I could speak to my Grandfather, Frank M. Barbush, whom I never knew, what would I say?"  Well, let me say this . . . Hello Pop I never met you and never got to know you , because you left this life before I was born. I did know your wife, Elizabeth Walmer Barbush. The entire family called her Mom Barbush or just Mom - whether sons, daughters, grandchildren, or other. Mom Barbush was the king pin of our family , the pivotal point, the focus point in our family. Penn Harris Taxi Cabs in Harrisburg, P A I never heard much about you, only that you started Penn Harris Taxi , which lasted for many years (decades) and supported many family members for decades. The taxi business became part of the entire Barbush Family . . . . to the exten...
