Tiny rubber Jesus, wearing a white robe and a fuschia sash that reads “Jesus 💜 You,” standing on the cover of a 2020 MacBook Pro, with the silver Apple Logo seen upside down on the laptop. Behind the laptop and Jesus, the keyboard to a 2014 Dell desktop model, plus a few blurry knick-knacks, a sticker of a labyrinth, and a small blue post-it.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.

Blue Cupcake Poms (spray chrysanthemums, spray-painted blue, with colorful, cupcake-like “sprinkles” of color) in a hand-thrown clay vase (artsy Susan Troy), and a pink hyacinth beginning to bloom just behind them.

Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

A crowded light wooden table, clockwise from noon: a bouquet of lavender “Cupcake Poms,” that is, flowers that have been both spray painted lavender, and speckled with various cupcake-decor-like colors; a small ceramic bowl, shaped and painted like a cabbage leaf, with a white ceramic bunny holding it, with a cellophane of three marshmallow peeps, L-R, pink, blue, and yellow, all dipped in chocolate; a tiny orange glass vase, shaped like an upside down teardrop, with several sprigs of kalanchoe flowers, orange with yellow rims; a hyacinth plant in a pot covered with pink-Easter-themed paper; hyacinths not yet open at all, no idea what color they’ll be; and a photo of my parents, both in pi kings attire and in a pink-matted, shiny-pink frame. Other stuff too, but these are the EASTER HIGHLIGHTS.

Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.

Banksy-like black and white painting showing Jesus, carrying the cross, escorted by two American cops, while three paparazzi follow, snapping pictures. Not a real Banksy, but a great image in his style.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
