Resurrection of the Dead and Our Glorified Bodies: Better Than the Powerball Jackpot
The following is a close approximation of the homily I delivered on April 10, 2016 at St. Luke the Evangelist Church in Slidell. The reading were the 3rd Sunday in Easter year C and can be found here..
Most of you remember a few months ago the Powerball reached $1.6 billion. People were lined up purchasing hundreds of tickets for a chance at becoming a billionaire and dream at what they might do with the winnings. I am ashamed to admit that I too joined in the frenzy. I dug deep into our savings account for $4.00 for 2 tickets.
And I did indulge in dreaming on what I might do with the winnings and what another life - life as a billionaire - might be like.
