Happy Easter!

This is me with my new short hair-do for those who haven't seen it already! It needs help as it is a little messy!

Don't send a lame Easter eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

Today has been a good day to say the least! I love how we had horrible weather on Friday (the day representative of Christ's death) and today, on the day we've chosen to represent Christ's resurrection, the sun is shining! Coincidence??? I don't think so.

This morning I went to church with my ENTIRE family. My sister flew in from California late Wednesday evening and will be with us for another week or two. I think Mom was happy to have her kids in one spot at the same time. That's tough to pull off when your children are adults. My parents' church puts on an Easter morning breakfast each year, so we participated in that, which took the place of Sunday School. It was quite a long service this morning and we were ready to come home! We are now surrounding the television, watching the Tigers play the Cleveland Indians (game is tied, by the way), our guts ready to explode from the ham, potatoes, broccoli, rolls, and everything else under the sun that we just ate. We haven't even begun to think about dessert yet, but we will press on! I am enjoying being warm in front of the fireplace, good book in hand. I'm enjoying the art of relaxation, perhaps under the realization that I didn't know how to do that before!

I will close with an excerpt from an e-mail message I received early this morning:

John 11:25

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;"

Praise the Lord He is risen INDEED!

May each and every one of you have a wonderful Easter Holiday as you remember that our Lord, who died a most humiliating and painful death on Friday, is now today RISEN to give us NEW LIFE!!!

Blessings!
