Happy Easter!
Now that the boys are older, we don't have to get up at dawn to see if the Easter Bunny stopped by our particular branch of the Bunny Trail. My morning has been instead spent in leisure, sipping kona (blend) coffee, packing (I'll get to that in a moment) and quiet contemplation. Not a bad way to spend Easter morning. (We went to church last evening.)
There is a lot of debate on which denomination is right and which is wrong. Today, of all days of all days, is not the day for that. On this day when Christians remember the Sacrifice that was made for us, today is the day that we should put that aside and worship and praise what is truly common between all Believers- God, our Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit.
I won't be posting the next couple of days. This afternoon we're headed out on a minivacation with R's family. We'll be back Tuesday night. Miss me while I'm gone, ok???
As we head out of town, I want to leave you with this. Johnny Hart is one of my favorite cartoonists, because of cartoons like this:

We don't worship a man who lived and who died. We worship a God who died and then lived (Mark Lowry).A lot of people (both those called to the ministry and those whose only claim to the ministry is having their names in the Lamb's Book of Life) have written beautiful Easter messages around the Blogosphere. Go read those. And spend some time with your family.
