HE IS RISEN!

I just finished watching the live stream of the Mars Hill Easter Service. Jesus was made much of and many crossed over from death to life in baptism. It is a joyous occasion to witness what God has done and continues to do for us.

I have to admit that while watching the baptisms (people who were 80 and people who were 7, about 500 of them) that I got emotional. I started bawling like a baby. Thankful that God saved me and excited that He still continues to save.

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. - Matthew 28:6a

A Good Friday Indeed (For Me)!

I am completely overwhelmed with things to do at the moment. It seems as the nexus of all of my responsibilities have met together this week (Christian, husband, father, pastor, Sears employee, leader, friend) to create an instable wormhole of "how do I get anything done". It is in times like these that I am reminded to rely on my Savior's strength instead of my own. My getting things done compares nothing to how my Savior "got it done" in these three days. Thankful for His obedience and completion of work so that I can be obedient and complete mine.
