Easter Weekend

Isabella had her first indoor soccer game this morning. She did awesome. She was aggressive and going after the ball and played goalie even for a bit and blocked several shots. Yippee!!!

More to come later. Just hoping and praying all who read this are remembering the reason for celebrating this weekend. For me and my family - it isn't about the Easter Bunny and coloring of easter eggs but Christs sacrifice for us on the cross.

My hope for everyone is to not be in too much of a rush to get to the resurrection that we forget the death and the sacrifice in which that death was for sinners like myself. The resurrection is mighty but the taste and sting of death was required!


Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
1 Corinthians 15:55

...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:28

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds WE ARE HEALED.
Isaiah 53:5
