Happy Easter to you all.
This Easter we spent in the house. All day. This happens to be our day after traveling and its what we do. Always.
It was kind of windy today in southern California so we didn't really mind staying inside today.
We watched the end of the Master's Golf Tournament, played/worked on our computers, had a nice Easter dinner, watched TV and read. A really nice relaxing way to spend the day.
You may notice some changes in the sidebar today. I've added a few things. One important one is the Praying for Stellan addition. Stellan is a little 5 month old boy who is currently in the hospital in week three. He was diagnosed with heart failure while in the womb and he now has bouts with SVT where his little heart beats at 200 beats a minute. His mom writes a blog and she is very entertaining, even during this difficult time. I would encourage you to go and read this story. This is truly God at work. You can read Stellan's story HERE. People from all over the world are praying for Stellan and showing the family that this little boy is in their thoughts by sending pictures to Stellan's name gallery. Check this out, you'll be amazed!
I found one Easter funny in the file. I hope you get a giggle out of it.
Three blondes died in a car crash trying to jump the Grand Canyon and are at the Pearly Gates of heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple question.
St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?" The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey and is thankful..."
"Wrong!, You must go to HELL" replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second blonde the same question, "What is Easter?"
The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents and celebrate the birth of Jesus." St. Peter looks at the second blonde, bangs his head in disgust on the Pearly Gates, tells her she's wrong and to go to HELL, and then peers over his glasses at the third blonde and asks, "What is Easter?"
The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is." "Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.
"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."
St. Peter smiles broadly with delight. The third blonde continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter."
HAPPY EASTER!
