Happy Easter

We made it to "Big Church" for Easter today! Our church does a special combined service at Easter in the Mayborn Center instead of having to do several smaller services in our sanctuary. The Mayborn Center is a big auditorium with black drapes covering all of the walls and big bright lights in the ceiling. It was wonderful entertainment for Drew...and he actually stayed awake looking at all of the lights through the whole service! Drew got to hear Daddy play piano at church for the first time. He loved all of the music and excitement. Pastor Martin even introduced him to the congregation at the end of the service after Andrew was finished playing the offetory.

We had a wonderful time praising the Lord and thanking Him for all he did many years ago in sending His son to die on the cross for our sins. Easter is the true celebration of the victory we have in Jesus, who was sacrificed for our sins, who overcame death, and who is living today to offer us forgiveness and eternal life with Him.

Now that I have a son myself, I'm even more amazed at the love God has for all of us that he would willingly offer his son as the sacrifice for our sins. There are many people I love very dearly in this world, but to actually give my son up for the lives of those that I love is something I can't imagine. How blessed we are to have a Savior and a God who loves us so deeply.

Happy Easter to all!
