Jesus is Our Risen Lord!

Easter is my favorite time. Although usually busy in our household, it is always a time to remember Christ's sacrifice and rejoice that He conquered the grave and is our risen Savior and Lord. In years past, we were involved in the annual Easter musical but this year our church concentrated on the Easter Journey and it was amazing. Walking through scenes of Jerusalem after Jesus had lived, died and rose again, was a very powerful event and since this is a unique ministry that our church has offered the last few years ,we really wanted more people to experience this special program. A lot of hard work and commitment was involved and many hearts were moved and awakened to the true meaning of Easter. Steve and I are very grateful to participate in this event. Last night was our final night. We stayed until midnight to clean up all the props. What fun!

Since we last blogged, there has been a little excitement in our family. Last week, my brother David's barn caught on fire and thankfully he was home or his house could have been destroyed. We praise God for limiting this potential disaster.

Last Friday, Steve and I went to Baltimore to see our niece, Chelsey in her high school musical, "Oklahoma." Brian, Steve and I enjoyed ourselves and Chelsey did a wonderful job. We were so proud. She was Ado Annie- we really enjoyed her solo-"I'm Just a Girl Who Cain't Say No! That's what every father wants to hear his daughter say! Just kidding, Chelsey, you were great!

Again, I hope all of you have a Blessed Easter and we pray you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Risen Savior!
