Considering the Lilies

Easter is fast approaching.

In most media you will find little that relates to this season.  OK, you could hit the religion section of a paper, but that’s cheating!

I ask myself what constitutes front page reporting.  Or even second page.

From those questions I’m starting to delve into the news of the day.  Perhaps I need to see each page in a new light. 

What makes this news worth more than one day’s importance?  Where are people really affected?  Is this just anger for the moment or are there underlying causes?  How can I link the happenings of the day with the eternal?

Perhaps I’ll even come to an understanding of Easter in the light of this day – that would make it worth my while talking to an editor of our local newspaper.

Watch your local paper and see what headlines the next few weeks.  Let me know where you see a connection!
