Random samplings from the "Good Life"...: He is risen....indeed!!!

Happy Easter!!!

"1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." Matthew 28:1-7

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday in Maryland. Church and time with friends, good food, and even an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos. It was a wonderful reminder of God's love for us--to be loved on earth.

I got up early, drove to Dawson to meet Anne, Natalie and Nathaniel (friend and baby visiting from CT). We were running a bit late for the 9:30 service, so we ended up slowing down, going for a quick visit to another house and making it to the balloon release at church before the 11 service. The service was wonderful--fabulous music. We grabbed a bite after church--went back to Dawson, started cooking, layed around until folks started showing up--then had a great visit with everyone. It turned into a beautiful day despite the early coldness of it all. Pictures to follow...

Thanks to the wonderful hosts at Dawson! Happy Easter!
