Easter Blessings!

Can you believe it's already the day after Easter? This year has just flown by! Having served as a Pastor for almost 20 years, I thought I had experienced it all! Spiritual Growth, that is. When I look back over my life, there have been many times when I felt so very close to God! Some days even, thought I was breathing God's breath as I was drawing closer and closer. But just when you think you've got it, God reaches down and touches you in a new and even mightier way than before. That is how my wife and I felt this year. We have been attending a little Baptist Church near our home in Rainbow, Texas. And after the second or third visit, realized that I am sort of distantly related to the Pastor by marriage. Anyway, we were so blessed to be able to help with the church's Easter Egg Hunt for the community! The church gathered just over 9,000 eggs, and witnessed just over 200 kids as they VACUUMED two soccer fields to clean up all the eggs in less than 50 seconds! A New World Record!

But as you know, Easter is not about eggs! It is however, about the redeeming blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! If you have a chance sometime, google the name Robin Mark, and his song "All Is Well." I was blessed to be able to sing that song in a recent revival service, and it has had a profound affect on me. I have that cd now, and listen to that very song as I drive to work. I worship on my drive into downtown Ft. Worth each day. My favorite part of the song says this: "He lowers us to raise us, so we can sing His praises. No matter what His way, All is Well..." I have taken lots of time now to reflect on the meaning of the words of this song. It is really about Resurrection Power! That is, our power and strength being taken from us, so that God can give us His Power Instead! What an amazing thought! I hope you will look this song up and give a listen! I hope you will consider Resurrection Power for yourself! Not your power, but His! Focus on Him!

Blessings,
