Hello Folks,
     Just this past Sunday we celebrated Easter--Resurrection Sunday.  Of course, if we understand the biblical message correctly everyday is a day of celebrating the Resurrection!  What an amazing message we have to give to our world.  I realize that there are many who are opposed to this marvelous truth but that does not change the fact of the resurrection!  While many have attempted to make it a myth or fairy tale that is promoted by foolish followers of Jesus we still proclaim quite loudly, "HE IS RISEN".  The reason other religions must oppose the resurrection is if it is true they must admit that their founders have far less to offer our world than Jesus!  They just do not stack up against Him!  Just think of it with me for a moment!  This Jesus could not be held in the Tomb, Satan could not enslave Him, and the stone was rolled away for all the world to see!  HE IS RISEN!  Praise be to Jesus who is the Risen Savior!
     I was also blessed to have my Son, James, his wife, Michele, and their girls, Jordyn and Alexis, with us in worship for Easter.  Those of you who have your children with you all the time do not know what a blessing that is for Ruth and myself.  While we did not the rest of our family with us we were able to enjoy their presence with us.  God has been so good to me.  I believe that you could say the same thing if you would look at things from a perspective of what has been given to you. 


May your day be blessed,
