Now What?

When holidays roll around, we oft times find ourselves a little more attentive to living the Word. We remember the origins of the holidays, and try to kindle the flame of the Holy Spirit in us a little more diligently.

Christmas and Easter are the two major holidays that most Christians pay particular attention to, and find them worthy to meditate on and commit a certain amount of time and effort in representing Christ in their lives during the season. But with Christmas and Easter behind us ... Now what? What if we ponder on what happened after Easter in the Gospel and the Book of Acts, and see if we can't apply the message of that time to our lives? Who can you relate to from that time?

Can you relate to the story of Mary Magdalene?

Mark 16:9

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven devils.

Mary Magdalene probably didn't feel worthy but Jesus chose her to be the first person He revealed Himself to after His resurrection. That had to be an honor and a reassuring experience for her. But then, when she went to give the good news to others, nobody found her story credible ...

Except Peter and John. Can you relate to Peter? He jumped up when he heard Mary's claim ... After all, he had denied the Lord thrice after being told that he would be the foundation of the church and would be given the keys to Heaven. Think he wasn't feeling despair beyond words? If he could only see the Lord one more time to make things right! So he ran to the tomb, and John jumped up, and for whatever reason outran Peter, then stopped short of entering the tomb. How do you suppose John felt in hindsight? Why do I hesitate ... Where's my passion? Can you relate? Perhaps his feelings were quite different, maybe he stopped and let Peter enter the tomb first after pondering on the way there, that this honor belonged to Peter even if he (John) did run faster. Perhaps it was another reason.

What about Thomas? He was brave enough to boast about dying with Jesus and urged the fellas to do the same a short time earlier when Jesus was about to go into Judaea to raise His friend Lazarus ... Which was dangerous territory since many people were conspiring against Jesus there at that time.

John 11:16

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with Him.

The same Thomas doubted out loud about the Lord's resurrection.

John 20:25

The other disciples therefore said unto Him, We have seen the Lord. But he [Thomas] said unto them, Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.

Imagine how he felt when Jesus told him to go ahead and plunge his finger into His wounds and be not faithless. Lord, PLEASE increase my faith! Can you relate to Thomas?

What's the point? What do all these stories, and ours, have in common?

When we meet Jesus and are reborn, we don't become perfect (as we see they didn't) ... But we do have a new spirit and a new attitude (as they did) about bouncing back when we stumble or fall. Jesus provides us with that courage! In our Christian walk, everybody doesn't understand or share our passion and dedication to our Lord, and many are steadfast in pointing out our imperfections, but each day when you wake up and ask our Father to renew your mind, don't forget that the people who were closest to our Lord also struggled with cowardice and failure and doubt and foolishness and pride and mediocrity and all those things that we despise about ourselves when we fall. Did the lives of those people go back to normal after that first Easter? Heaven's no. They went out and turned the world upside down! Why? Because those who are forgiven much, love much ... AND because the more we know, the more is expected of us.

Luke 7:47

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.



Tuna Patties

2 small cans tuna, drained
¼ cup almond flour
1 green onion, sliced thinly
½ teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
½ teaspoon dried dill
1½ teaspoons lemon juice
Olive oil for frying

  • Mix all the ingredients together well. The mix will seem a little too moist but will adhere when you cook it. If it is exceedingly moist, you can add more almond flour, a Tablespoon at a time, until it sticks together nicely.
  • Pour enough olive oil just to cover the bottom of your skillet. Non-stick or a good seasoned cast iron skillet will work best. If you don't have one of these, use a generous amount of cooking spray on your pan.
  • Heat your skillet and oil to medium/hot.
  • While your oil is heating, flatten the tuna mixture in your bowl so it is all flat, then divide it evenly into four sections by drawing intersecting lines through it with your spoon.
  • When your oil is ready, spoon each quarter of tuna mixture into the pan, pressing it into patties with the back of your spoon.
  • Check the patties carefully occasionally with a spatula to see if you need to rotate or flip them to brown them evenly. This should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on the heat under your skillet.
  • If you try and cook them too quickly, they will start to burn, so keep a good eye on them.
  • Serve with ketchup or tartar sauce
