Celebrate Jesus Celebrate

He is risen, He is risen, come on celebrate the resurrection of our Lord.

That song, has reigned in my heart, my mind, my inner most being for weeks, as I have heard "the Ensemble from Morning Star" practice and sang Sunday at the Early Easter Service, and then again at Morning Star with good crowds at both. Christ was lifted up, hopefully by His' leadership and His' people.
As I preached yesterday in regard to Judas, after the ensemble had so beautifully presented "He's Alive Because of the Cross, and the empty tomb". As I looked at Judas, who prayed with Jesus, walked with Jesus, experience with his own eyes, Jesus walking on the water, feeding the thousands and on and on. Judas was in the know, he traveled with the Circle of Jesus, and fellowshipped with the Circle of let's get Jesus crowd. He was a people person, but died and hung alone.

Do You know Jesus today or just about Him?

Brooke

Brooke, is our (Barb's) great niece, but she is really like a granddaughter. Last night, she spoke, introduced a forum for the Billings School Board election. She is going to be Valedictorian of her senior class. With the forum, the PTA hosted a chili, speghetti supper for Project Graduation. Hopefully, they raised a lot, for a fun night of alcohol free entertainment following graduation.
We are proud of Brooke, have taken her to church with us, since she was 3 or 4. She is also my powerpoint computer person on Sunday morning. She is now 18, as of April fools' day, but Brooke is no April fool.

Today, Barbara and I, will be meeting with Evangelist Bob and wife, Millie White, for a time of brain storming 'children's ministry'. They have some wonderful experiences serving the Lord with children and their families. Pray for our experience to gether in Branson.

Lightening

I'm borrowing this from Pastor John Marshall's blog, 2nd Baptist, Springfield.

Humor helps. A mother was concerned about her second-grade daughter who was walking home from school as a thunderstorm was forming. The mother went to meet her, and saw her stopping to smile each time lightning flashed. Mom asked, “Are you scared?” “No. All the way home, God’s been taking my picture!”

April 2----Honest or lie

Honestly, I don't want to do this, but just go cover my head up and hibernate. Struggle with realities with just the way it is. Sometimes, or maybe a lot of the times, sense the sensation of being trapped. Real, yes----------.

Mom, is stable, she needed assistance yesterday, several times. She is confused quite often, and sees images that we don't observe, but they are real to her. She is up and at em, this morning, drinking her coffee, and reading the paper. There was a death this morning she knew, Mary Lee Lantz, the mother of David Lantz. David died in 06 from probably going to sleep at the wheel of his car, and going over an embankment.

Our son, is having a "Spring Fling" Saturday, we are trying to make arrangements to go. Hoping it doesn't rain, as it is an outside event. 11 of our 14 grandchildren should be there.

Gearing up for Palm Sunday, pray for my mind, as we draw closer to Resurrection Easter Sunday.

He's alive, He's alive, Jesus is ALIVE! And He is with me, and He never ever, ever, leaves me, us when we know Him. I didn't say, know about Him, BUT KNOW HIM.
