Happy Easter to everyone!!! We had a great day. It started out in church, with us attending the early service. Ernie had a great message this morning. This afternoon, my family came over for lunch. Those in attendance were: Melanie, Nathan, Mom, Patti, Alyssa, Matthew, Aunt Carol, Aunt Sybil, and, of course, my bunch. Lunch was great but the company was better. It was a beautiful day, a little on the cool side, but that didn't stop the kids. They played on the trampoline, played basketball, and tossed around the baseball. After everyone left, Mike, the kids and I watched the University of Memphis play Mississippi State in the NCAA playoffs. We were happy: U of M won the game and moved to the Sweet 16. Go Tigers!!!! This evening we wished my dad and step-mom and Mike's dad and step-mom a Happy Easter then put the kids to bed. Andrew is still up prowling around because he woke up late from his nap. Hopefully, he will go down soon so Mike and I can retire. We are tired.

Hope everyone had a great Easter celebration. The reason for our celebration is because Jesus rose from the dead and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. Because of Jesus' death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead, those who believe in Him have forgiveness from their sins and have eternal life. That is cause to celebrate!!! He is Risen!! He is Risen, Indeed!!!
