The Lord is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Thus goes the traditional Easter greeting, an affirmation of the central tenant of Christianity, the truth of which, were it not true, we would be "of all men, most miserable" as the Apostle Paul noted to the Corinthians. But this Easter we were not miserable, even if, … Continue reading Jesus Shall Reign

Below I will list the ones relevant to myself and the fellowship I attend. But before I list those, and the other upcoming events, I … Continue reading A Look Ahead: Easter is Not A Memorial Day

In this spring of the year (just arriveid), Day 22 of my Sabbatical year, the social calendar seems somewhat slow in the immediate future.

A Blast of the Past #82: Easter Fun 2007
Or so I presume. Looking at these there must have been some Easter Egg hunt with bouncy house around that we went to, and face painting.
The Lord Is Risen!
HE IS RISEN INDEED! Such is the traditional Easter Greeting. Today being Easter, I am taking some time off from my journey through the Hymnbook feature to put up some Easter-themed music.
