Tomorrow morning, Easter Sunday, I will be up very early cooking a big pot of tomato/cheese/bacon grits to take to the church. I need to have it there by no later than 6:30 am, because sunrise service is at 6:45 and we will serve breakfast, to all those who attend, immediately after the sunrise service. Our regular worship service will be earlier than usual, at 10 am.
Sooooo, I'm wishing all of my long distance friends here an early, very Happy Resurrection Day, because I won't be here early tomorrow morning as usual. I hope that your day will be blessed with a recognition of the real meaning of the celebration.
He is risen!! May the Fourth (man in the fire) be with you!
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Church at 11:00AM for us, when I get home I’ll be smoking a boneless pork shoulder on the Weber, about 8 pounds. A friend is bringing dessert, strawberry shortcake, Maria will handle making my mother’s potato salad, steamed veggies and dinner rolls. Visited my brother at the nursing home today, he will be taking delivery of a motorized wheelchair on Friday, and seems a bit exited about that. Sent a married couple, very dear friends, that were visiting their daughter and granddaughter, home to Colombia. A few tears were shed, with promises of not waiting so long between reunions.
We had a busy day. We are blessed.
A joyous Easter Sunday to all.
Best,
Ted

We had a blessed time at our sunrise service-- got to lead worship with my brothers and sister in law-- then home to a full Easter breakfast.
Our pastor preached from Isaiah-- the promise that God would one day swallow Death. Fulfilled when Sin and Death were first 'swallowed' on the cross as Jesus took our sin and death into Himself, and then 'swallowed up' when Jesus overcome death and hell at the Resurrection.
The great devourer has been devoured. Death has been defeated. And so we celebrate with a great feast of thanksgiving, starting at the communion table.
Happy Easter...
He is risen indeed!
Jim

I am back in the “old country” of my youth (as Lloyd calls it) and just spent the last two and half weeks with my Dad’s 99 year old sister as she passed from death into LIFE! The last of the “old ones” of our family is now gone. And it’s OK (actually far better than just OK). Because of today, we do not grieve as if we have no hope.
A blessed Resurrection Day to you all.
(Plus how wonderful to wake up to the news that the second F-15 officer was found alive and has been rescued.)
