A Family Tradition

Every year on or near Easter us three kids have always dyed eggs and then on Easter Sunday we would use the eggs to have golden rod eggs (a recipe that my grandmother started). Now that I have accepted Christ the true meaning of Easter has changed it no longer means chocolate bunnies, egg hunting, and eggs filled with candy. To me Easter means that Jesus rose from the dead and payed the penalty for our sins. Here are some pics from our dinner with friends and family. Mommy and daughter making the same face. Baby lasted only a few minutes before wanting to get down and play so mommy finished up with the egg dying.

Good Book

I am reading this book that our church is doing a series on and so far it is really good. The book is "Just Walk Across the Room" by an author who is a pastor in a Chicago suburb. The Pastor at my church gives a sermon on Sunday about part of the book and then we have small groups that meet throughout the week (including Sunday night) to talk about the book and to watch a video about the topic. So far the book is really good and I am eager to read ahead but knowing I shouldn't so that I won't get confused with what we are talking about. I will update as we continue to go through the book. The whole thing is to take four weeks ending the week before Easter.
