i loved this song when i was running from God but realized she's actually making fun of God here and how she see's the Church operating.
this was her Last Song:
recorded, 3 days before she was found dead on.
On this day in 1970, she died of an accidental heroin overdose and was discovered in her Los Angeles hotel room after failing to show for a scheduled recording
I wonder if this song will be presented as facts against her on Judgement Day?

Ester Sunday was just about the only time we got a new dress mom made them . Most my clothes were from the WMC's or hand me downs from our aunt to my sister then me. It was kinda nice to be presenting my best for the Lords resurrection Sunday.
Never cared for the ester bunny rabbits dont lay eggs, country girls know that. As a kid i could not see a connection of bunnies to the death and resurrection of Christ . nor did i know there was any connection to some goddess. Santa, although i do not remember ever believing in santa has a slim connection the 'birthday gifts' to the gifts given to Him.

trees, games, and eggs are not the problem. Sin is. The legalism that is perpetuated by those of the church is done only to control people. Yet those same people hide their drinking, smoking, pornography, and perversion. They attack trees and eggs but will not deal with the perversion in their own hearts. Hypocrites Jesus called those types.
Ask them what outreach have done that was successful where they saw people saved, delivered, and healed? They have no testimony of that; why? Paul said to be all things to all men that we might WIN some.
So a plastic egg with Jesus' loves in it that a child find in a easter egg hunt and brings that egg to the platform and is shown the love of God and the parents come to see what their child gets and hear for the first Time:
" has anyone ever told you that Jesus loves you and God has a plan for your life?"
Then pray for them and ASK THEM WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW THIS Jesus who loves you and lead them to Christ? They get saved, baptized the following Sunday, and bring others to church with them.
That was done with a plastic egg, and God used it. I will do an easter egg hunt every year, Lord Willing, because the fruit and God's Blessing are well seen. My God knows my heart, and IF I eat meat given to Idols, I thank my God before I eat it.
And if one is immature in the Lord and an egg causes you to stumble? I will not invite you to work in outreach. Because if a plastic egg causes you to stumble, I'm sure :
being around
- Drugs addicts
- Prostitutes
- Drunks
- Gang bangers
- Bikers
- Homosexuals
- homeless
Will be a problem for you.

Songfacts says, The song is a social commentary on how many people relate happiness
and self-worth with money and material possessions. Sung a cappella in a blues style,
Joplin was poking fun at the mindset that luxury goods will make everything better.
This song spoke to the shift in the counterculture, as some of the impoverished
musicians speaking out against the system were now very rich. Nothing about the church...
