My Grand-daughter Word Girl is being baptized today. :D

Celebrate the Resurrection!

The Most High God chose to leave the glorious realm of heaven to live like the dust of the earth, to live as a human, enduring all the difficulties, joys, sorrows, and trials of this life. He had mountaintop experiences and valley experiences. He experienced slander from his enemies and betrayal from his friends and family. He was bullied, ridiculed, laughed at, beaten, stripped, humiliated, tortured and finally killed.

His friends and followers were left feeling confused and hopeless. Their greatest hopes and dreams had been ripped to shreds, their faith stretched so thin it threatened to break at any second. They were left with questions. "Wasn't this the King we had been waiting for?" "How could we have been wrong?" "Did we miss something along the way?" "What do we do now?" "I guess we go back to fishing." "What's left?" "Why?"

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9

Because He loves us...
His life on earth was to identify with us.
His death was the punishment that we deserved for all of our sins, past, present, and future.
But the Power of God could not be contained in death. He defeated death and rose again to life, real life, so that we could live with Him forever in Heaven.

Trust in Jesus Christ ... and live.

Sunday is Resurrection Day. It is the celebration of the day that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, defeated death and sin and it's hold over you and me. I hope you have a wonderful celebration of our Risen Savior.

My oldest grand-daughter has chosen to Trust Jesus with her life and will be baptized on Resurrection Day.

Join me at Titus 2 in Action today...

The Stuff of Life

Who would have thought that one could make so many friends that they have never even met before. Thank you all for remembering me and coming by to check on me and to pray for me. And thank you to my friend ADHD-Jo at Monkeys are Funny (but they're not really) who even wrote a post to call me out of hiding. Just a figure of speech. I wasn't actually in hiding, just caught up in the stuff of life. I know you have all been there too.

I did learn that I was somewhat addicted to blogging. It's good to discover that there's life outside of the blogosphere even though I miss my friends in here. Bet you didn't know that you live inside this little box that sits on my desk, did ya?

I hope everyone had a wonderful celebration of the Resurrection. I made the girls some crosses to hang in their bedrooms and some chocolate cross lollipops. They acted out the Easter story with an old (somewhat cheesy) puppet show I made years ago. They had a good time and learned why we celebrate Easter. No bunnies at this house.

My sweet friend Lea at the Shabby Olde Potting Shed made me this wonderful ~~Thorn of Crowns~~ Crown of Thorns (and no one even caught my error) for Easter. She remembered me commenting on one she had posted back at Christmas. I'm convinced that Lea has the gift of generosity.

Did any of you participate in a TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party in your area? The Arlington TEA Party turned out to be a huge success. Way beyond anything I imagined. God orchestrated all of the details and we ended up with about 2000 - 2500 people. It was so thrilling to see people come out and speak out and stand up for our Nation.

I can't tell you what it was like to watch the people as they were given a platform to express themselves and feel like they can have a voice after all. It was like watching them find freedom that had been taken away. It was like that for me too. And I found that it isn't ending with that one, but we are continuing in our efforts. It looks like God has a few plans for me in this. I really have a heart to see God's people start really speaking out and taking back this Nation for Christ. We have been complacent for too long.

Here are a few pictures of our TEA Party and the designs I made for shirts and buttons. It was really fun to watch people get excited over these.
