What has Gripped Me this Easter Holiday...

   I am just stunned.

   I finally got the opportunity to read a few of the blogs I tend to follow, and one of my very favorites has a two part series on Easter that really has got me thinking, sharing, wondering what I can do next.
   As Christians, it is so easy to let this holiday take over our thinking, dress our kids up nicely, walk the line between Jesus and the Easter Bunny, and let it slide.
   But what Easter (or Resurrection Sunday) is all about is sacrifice.

   What Jesus did for us is just that...

 sacrifice.

   I dont want to go on and on about this idea, because I say it so poorly compared to Jen Hatmaker, whose blog has often made me sit back and think........or like tonight, sit back and cry as I think of all I could be doing for those around me who need to see love in action.
   As you ready your hearts and your family for the celebration of Easter, would you read her posts for me? I guarantee you it will make you sit back, rethink, and be encouraged to walk out your faith in a living, and desperate world.

Have a blessed Easter! As I love to say to those dear to me every Easter:

He Is RISEN!

Yes, He is risen Indeed! :)

Many Blessings to you and yours,
