As I write‚ it is Holy Saturday. The latest issue of CPR arrived in this morning’s mail. Tomorrow I will proclaim the glorious and victorious resurrection of our Lord from the dead—the ultimate head-crushing of the devil. The events of Good Friday are fresh in my mind.

It has come to my attention‚ and I hope yours‚ that Black Friday has spiraled out of control. In every store people are getting hurt‚ lost‚ sleep deprived and robbed of their holiday.
