Sunburn and Life Insurance, how can you connect them?  Well thanks to my kids, I can.  Yesterday I went to my paternal annual cousin’s day.  We gather at my Aunt’s house on the lake near Chisago city.  I told my kids to put on sunscreen before hitting the water.  Nope, they are smarter than good old Dad.  Well I now have three kids look like lobsters.  Sound advice given and now after the damage is done, that advice makes sense.  But what confuses me…. this has happened before, and before and before.  This is not the first time they have refused to listen and then get burned.

The same thing happens with life insurance.  We know we need it (the sunblock), your agent says that you need it (the advice), the refusal and then the pain of the burn.  You suddenly need it.  But there is nothing you can do with the pain (the new price).    Your health has changed, you have gotten a decade or two older.  I did not think I needed life insurance beyond this age, etc, etc, etc…  Brothers your permanent life insurance is the a lifetime sunblock that will never fail you.  Everyone needs it.  We are all going to die, we just don’t know the day nor the hour.  Too often I get a phone call from Brother Knights who have received bad news from the Doctor and then want life insurance.  Don’t delay, put on some sunblock and buy some permanent KC life insurance.  You will be thankful after a hard life in the sun.

I’ve tried writing this post five or six times.  We, my Brothers, serve an AWESOME GOD!  I have spend the last few days surrounded by the Holy Spirit, once again the Spirit has filled my soul and nourished me.  I feel like a dixie cup at Niagra Falls.  Truly my cup is runneth over.  Where do I begin; my weekend started with my being involved in the Honor Guard for Archbishop Hebda’s installation.  If you were there you will understand when I say the Holy Spirit filled the Cathedral.  The next morning, I attended our MN annual KC council meeting (that’s what the convention is) and Fr. Perez-Cobo started the mass with Jesus Christ is Risen; we were to respond with Alleluia, Alleluia.  Early on, it sounded as if we were in a fog.  By the end of the mass, after being fed by Jesus with His Body and Blood, I wish you could have heard the Alleluia, Alleluia!  I thought instantly of the Easter Exsultet, let these holy building shake with joy.   The words of the faithful praise our God was so beautiful.  Through out the day I saw old friends, meet new people, heard of the incredible works that our Order has/is and will do.  Guys, it is impossible for me to write how much we serve each other, our Families, our communities.  Brothers we are a force of good in this world.

I followed it up on Sunday, the Feast of Pentecost, enjoying pancakes with the best council in the state (watch out Lino Lakes, that will be another post), spending time with my family and then ending the day finally watching the movie God’s Not Dead with my wife.  Again I am humbled to see how people either deny or reject this Awesome God we serve.  Brothers, the Holy Spirit is alive and well within our council.  We accomplish nothing without the Spirit.  It is the Holy Spirit that we need to come into us, our families, our community and after he comes into our lives; Get out of the way and just let go and let God, let go and let Jesus, let go and let the Holy Spirit fill us like the Dixie cup at Niagara Falls.

Jason, asked for some help.  So I’m hoping I’m doing this right.

No one likes paying their premiums.  Who wants to spend money when their is a mortgage to pay, food to put on the table, children’s education to pay for, car payments; the list goes on and on.  But what is the lesson of the empty tomb!  Jesus became the new covenant with God.  Jesus Christ became the Paschal Lamb.  It is HIS blood on the wood of the cross that paid the premium.  He, Christ paid the premium for our salvation.

But what is His death without Easter?  If we don’t have the empty tomb what do we have, a man who paid a price but with nothing else. There is nothing.   It is the miracle of Easter, where we receive the joy.  It is the miracle of Easter where we fully receive His love.  It is after his death that we receive the fullness of His gift.

Brothers, I would say this…. life insurance is a gift that we give to our loved ones.  It is after our death that they receive an incredible gift.

The Tomb is empty!  He is Risen!!
