Belated Easter Greetings

Howdy everyone! I wanted to post on Easter, but I was (happily) busy with family and God. It was a great day. The sun finally came out! It was timely that it would come out on Easter...I like to think of it as the Son rising after (more than) three days of cloudy/depressing weather.

The sunshine was enough to put me in a good mood, but the day was filled with many more good things. I attended Easter service at the church in Topeka that I was baptized in. It had been awhile since I worshiped there, and I had forgotten how beautiful it is. The stained glass windows, vaulted ceiling, and creaky pews all felt so bright and welcoming Easter Sunday. The whole church felt so alive and filled with the Holy Spirit. Since I attend a contemporary service at my current church, I haven't had the chance to sing real, old-school hymns in a long while. There is something about old hymns, especially those that we sing at Easter, that really lift you up.

Anyways, I could go on and on...but to sum it up, it was an amazing Easter. It worked out perfectly that Thursday thru Sunday my daily Bible reading plan that I'm working on matched up exactly with the Easter happenings. It made the cross and all it's Glory even more real to me.

I know it's a little late, but there is a really cool website that I would like to pass on. It's a presentation put together by Max Lucado (he rocks) that really explains the Cross and shows why Easter is so important to us. I think it's a cool little video.

I hope you all had a great Easter!
