Let's write a little bit...
This week is Easter. It will be my first Easter as a saved man. It will be my first Easter since I was a child that I will be in a church.
Over the years I have studied all the reasons Christians shouldn't celebrate Easter. It's Pagan, they say. It's about the rebirth of the world. The coming of Spring. The flowers blooming. It's about fertility. It's why we use the Easter Bunny, which has one of the shortest gestational periods of all animals, and the Easter Egg.... It's about the celebration of love, I used to argue...
Oh, I can go on for days about how Christians ripped off the Pagans for the holiday... I know it all.... I can refute any Christian argument for a logical debate.
You see, I can speak all the logical reasons why Easter isn't Christian. Satan made sure, in my weakest moment, that he fully armed me to fight Christians, word for word....
Yet here I stand.... a new Christian excited to celebrate with my family and my friends for the first time ever?
Why???
Because no bunny died for me on a cross on Calvary. No egg was painted for my sins to be washed away.
Tonight, I read the book of John from chapter 14 through the end.
I read about him being betrayed. I read about Peter denying him 3 times before the rooster crowed. I read about Pilate basically telling Jesus to just recant his own words and he could be free.
And I read about Jesus refusing to do so. I read about him being beaten with a lead tipped whip. I read about them crucifying him.
And as I was reading, I thought to myself, "Where was his deciples? Where were the people he healed and that followed him? How could they just leave him there?", and I thought to myself, "If I were there......." and then I had a real conversation with myself...
I denied Christ for years. Thousands of times, but I want to pass blame on Peter for doing it 3 times?
I think I would be some super hero for Jesus when I won't even pray out loud in a restaurant as to not offend those non-believers around me? I just sit there in silence like I am ashamed to mention his name?
Tonight, Jesus basically said, "You would deny me over and over again... and that is ok. You are just a man."
And that's where my mind is tonight as I sit here alone in my thoughts.
I look forward to this weekend. I look forward to celebrating the sacrifice that Christ made for me. I look forward to watching the children search for those colorful eggs, and getting their Easter baskets, even though I know whay they mean...
Because Salvation is something no Pagan God could provide and we really are, after all, celebrating LOVE.... The greatest love that has ever been given.... and for that... I am finally truly....thankful.

Which dress for an outdoor wedding in July?
I’m expecting that mid-July will be quite chilly. The ceremony will be outside and the reception will be in a tent, but not sure how warm it will be in there.
