I know there has been a lot of talk about Judas in the news as of late, but my fascination with him started several months ago.Â
I was visiting my favorite east coast pastor’s blog and then I had an epiphany.Â
He did a sermon over the U2 song Until the End of the World. It never occurred to me that that song was about Judas running into Jesus when he was in Hell. If I were in a cartoon strip, the artist would have drawn a light bulb over my head. Ever since, I think I have listened to this song at least once a day, it’s just purely brilliant.
I would like to share with you his sermon about that song.Â
You can listen to it here.
And below are some resources that you may find helpful whether you listen to the 11 minute sermon.

Local artists created the decorated eggs, which represent each state and the District of Columbia. The 2006 Easter Egg Collection continues the tradition that began in 1994 where each state sends a decorated egg to the White House for display. The collection is coordinated by the American Egg Board.
Here’s the Texas egg.

I can appreciate the overall spirit of this cake, I just don’t know how comfortable I would feeling cutting Jesus up in little squares and eating him . . . with icecream of course.

I visited www.easter.com recently, turns out you will be taken straight to Hallmark.
I tried to type in some other holiday URL’s but it looks like Easter is the only one that is linked to Hallmark.

A virtual Easter egg is a hidden message or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, or computer program.
For example, here is one of the more popular Easter eggs that is found in Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith:
To see Yoda perform a dance routine:
On Disc 1, select the Options Menu. Then press “11″ + “3″ + “8″ on your keypad.
Even new movies have them, such as The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Here are some sources to find virtual Easter eggs:

And here aer some U2 Easter eggs I have found:
On the new U2 Vertigo 2005 – Live from Chicago
On disk one, at the end of the documentary on the making of Elevation, when the Dreamchaser logo appears you’ll see a small icon of Bono at the top of the screen. Hit enter & it will take you to a screen full of flashing cubes. Then enter the code 1-9-7-6 and you’ll be taken to a further screen where you can select “Bonocam_one”, a cool first person view of everything Bono sees as film from a camera on his glasses, during the song Elevation.

Turn the CD upside-down so that you’re looking at the underside. Look near the hole in the middle. The words “MISS YOU SUGAR” are clearly visible. (My guess, it’s a message from Bono to his wife Ali.)
