Praise God, it's finally raining here in Southwest Oklahoma.  We've been in a terrible drought here for several years.  Just last week I had to save 3 catfish from a little mud puddle, in what was formerly a pond at my dad's house.  It's been dry.  Last night it was pouring rain when I went to bed, and it's raining lightly this morning when I got up to feed the calves.  God is good.

This morning I'm a thankful man.  My savior lives.  Today is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, and his victory over death, sin, and the cross.  To be totally honest with everyone here, I struggled for years to find meaning in Easter.  I understood what it was about, but had a hard time putting my finger on its significance.  Over the past 10 years it's come to mean something more to me, and I think I can honestly admit that now I get it.  Christ's resurrection is the validation of his whole ministry and proof that he was all God, not merely another well-meaning man.  It's a pretty simple concept really, but my simple mind sometimes doesn't grasp even the simplest of concepts.

When things were at their lowest point for his followers and disciples, they woke up Sunday morning to find an empty tomb.  He wasn't there.  He said he would raise the temple again in 3 days, he said he would rise again, and few understood what he was talking about.  The religious leaders of their day understood, as did the government & they paid the guards to tell people that the disciples had stolen the body.  The fact remains that thousands of years later, we're still celebrating that morning when the 2 Mary's went to spread spices on their savior's dead body, only to find an angel and some really freaked out guards where Christ's body should've been.

It's a great day to serve our risen Lord.  I hope everyone has a great day today.

Jlingle,
Amen!!  You have it together!!  May everyone that reads your post understand what today represents, no matter where they celebrate.  God is Good and He gave His only begotten Son!  How humble that makes me feel.  I have a hard enough time watching the kids leave at the end of a weekend to go back to college.  Can't fathom the unconditional love He has for each one of us and the REAL GIFT He gave.

Have a great week and a blessed day!

Even more significant than His birth, is the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord! Hallelujah! ! !

The question has been brought up by advanced theologians. "Did Christ die for all sinners, or just the elect?" I say, " His death, Blood, and Resurrection to Life conquered (ALL) sin. Even those eternally lost, including satin. (ALL) hale the Omnipotent Power of Jesus' name!" There'll be no more cursing after Final Judgment, only True Belief in the Souvern Trinity. Which side of the Great Gulf will you Worship Him from? ? ? Face to face, or the side He turned His back to?

Galatians 2:20-21... I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"


Praise God for the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ!

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road.



He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.

The driver,
a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see
what has become of the rabbit.


Much to his dismay,

the rabbit is the Easter Bunny,

and he is  DEAD .

The driver feels so awful  that he begins to cry.


A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.

She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.
"I feel terrible," ! he explains,
"I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM."

The blonde says,"Don't worry."
She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.  She walks over to the limp, dead  Easter Bunny, bends down,
and sprays the contents onto him.

The  Easter Bunny  jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves,
hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands,

"What is in that can?  What did you spray on the Easter Bunny ?"

The woman turns the can around
so that the man can read the label.

It says..


(Are you ready for this?)
(Are you sure?)

(You know you're gonna be sorry)
Last chance)

(OK, here it is)

It says,

"Hair Spray:

Restores life to dead hair,
and adds permanent wave."





Happy Easter!!!
