a great weekend! May the Lord God pour out bountiful blessings so that

you will hardly be able to contain it all, in Jesus Name!! I love you, Sister!

One might think, how can we love those we have never met. Peter said,

"Having not seen, ye love". We have not seen Jesus except in our brothers

and sisters. Jesus said to Thomas when he would not believe Jesus had

risen, except he saw the nail prints and His side. Jesus appeared and

showed Thomas the evidence. Thomas said, "My Lord and my God". Then

Jesus said to him, 'Because you have seen, you have believed, but BLESSED

are those who have not seen, yet have believed. Can someone believe

they have seen Him in us. Can we become like His disciples that the ones

hearing them, perceived that they had been with Jesus! How wonderful it

would be, IF JESUS is ALL they could see, when they see me!!!That is

something to strive for, isn't it!

Blessings, dear friend, Barb! I have felt Jesus in you!

We're having another baptism this morning - not sure how many. Tw or three far as I know.

From what I here we have have a great service planned. I'm not sure what all is going on but there'll be communion for sure, some kind of mini drama .... "drime" ...... special music, baptisms, some sort of video presentation, and a good message from the pastor.

I can fill you in on the details later.

Dan, that graphic is wonderful. I've saved it to use next Easter for Power Point. I'll put it up at the end of the service. Thanks for posting it.

At Easter I think of an old Baptist hymn we used to sing:

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

Death cannot keep its Prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

We sang that every year at Easter when I was a kid! I used to love it when it got to the chorus and everyone sang it SO loud.

I've been trying to think of the words to this song for days, and Reg finally gave them to me...

It's the final song from the Easter drama The Choice and your post, Renda, made me think of it again...

I choose Jesus
I choose Jesus
Without a solitary doubt
I choose Jesus

Not for miracles
But for loving me

Not for Bethlehem
But for Calvary

Not just today
But for eternity

I choose Jesus
Jesus!!
