In expectation of Easter...

Bryan's Granny sent out her annual email to invite family to her house to celebrate Easter and I loved her words to describe the Easter celebration...

rejoice ... Easter means NEW LIFE in Christ who is risen from the dead, living in us through the indwelling of the "Other One, just like him ...the Holy Spirit" and we celebrate that new life he gives us in appropriating Him as Redeemer who set us free from the slavery of sin ... still sinners who sin, but the Sweet Holy Spirit convicts us and we don't have to die for them, we just confess and turn from immediately .. He forgives and forgets because jesus paid it all ... Celebrate Jesus Every Day, but especially on Resurrection Sunday .... and He is coming again, just as He said ..

Such great truth!  Celebrate our Savior, the One that Paid it All!


Last night, Bryan read the Easter story to the boys before bed.  When he got to the cross, Jordan said, "that's where Jesus died."  And Bryan replied, "and He didn't do anything wrong."  Then Nathan piped up, "well, there was that one time that He took $40 from that one guy." Ha!  Pretty sure he's got his stories mixed up!  At least he's listening!  

Happy Resurrection Sunday friends!
