Easter

Health wise things are mostly improving -- slowly. I'm trying to ween myself off of one of the last two drugs left over from chemo. And we have no new news about where my numbers are right now.
Tomorrow is Easter. There is no more powerful demonstration of God's love than Jesus choosing a horrendous death as a sacrifice for you and me. And there is no more significant example of God's power than Jesus conquering the grave and rising again. The Confucius, Buddha, Mohammad and every other person who has died is still in the grave.
I heard a wonderful sermon, several years ago, that went something like --- "it's Friday, but Sunday's comin' ". Jesus died on Friday but Sunday was comin'. And when Sunday came He conquered death and rose again. Last year at this time for me it was Friday but Sunday was comin'. You may be in an ugly time in your life but just remember --- it's Friday but Sunday's comin'.
In 1986 Billy Crockett did an album called surprises in disguises. One of my favorite songs off of that album is called Portrait of Love. It is a wonderful melody and lyric (mostly from I Corinthians 13) describing God's love. Here is a link to him singing it live, several years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwWmS377Ukw

God is good all the time!!
