this was played at our church today.
lovely.
"He was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our sins;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. "
Isaiah 53: 5 & 6

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said.
“You are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
He has risen! He is not here."
Mark 16:6

happy easter.
Anto - Well the last two years have been a little direffent for Easter. 2011 will be my one and only daughters 3rd Easter. So our tradition is we of course wake up and have a yummy Easter breakfast made by me and then we get ready to attend church. We alternate between my daughter’s aunts church and her grandparents church. Then after Church we come home and I give her what the Easter bunny brought her and we have lunch. She takes a nap. Then we have some play time outside and then a light dinner and then some mom and daughter time and then bath time then a good Easter book that the bunny brought her and then bed time. I couldn’t ask for a better Easter. Actually any all all holidays with her are the best
Heather G. - He is risen, indeed! Happy belated Easter!

I love Easter
I love the empty tomb
I love that in order for Him to fill us, we must empty ourselves
I love and am so humbled in knowing that Jesus would die over and over agin for ME
wow
hard to believe
but I do
Happy Easter, to my friend who inspires..who through kindness, color, and laughter, shows me the hand of God in action
love you
Julie - I love that our two churches, thousands of miles a part both played this powerful video during services this morning.
I love that God created the musicians that wrote the song and the guys who made the video.
I love that the tomb is empty.
It is finished.
We are free from sin.
That we have hope in heaven.
Happy Easter friend.
He is risen.
He is risen indeed.
Angela W. - Thanks for sharing that clip. I didn’t have the opportunity to go to church today. IT was really good to watch that. I found your blog from Lisa Leonard Designs. I’m glad I checked it out! I am purchasing an oval pewter piece to support bringing Sergey home. I don’t know his story, but knowing that he is a world away…alone without a mommy…breaks my heart. I can help contribute with my purchase. Happy Easter!
Carol S - and on that note….Happy Easter and good night. Beautiful way to end a(imperfect but) good day.
Jen - Happy Easter this is my favorite song… I have it on my blog today too… He is Risen Indeed!

Jennifer - We sang that song this morning at church but didn’t watch the video. Thanks for sharing it. SO good. I never really thought of apathy as sin. Hmmm. Definitely something to work on.
