Easter Sunday

The tomb is empty!
I didn't make it to sunrise service this morning (we let Nathan "Mag'dalene" represent for us this morning) but we had a wonderful regular service. I hope you experienced God's redemption through a fresh channel today.

Mom has been heeding the doctors suggestions and has not been obsessing over BP and pulse the last few days. Dad said that she has seemed like a different person, so hopefully her anxiety about the last few weeks is behind her and she can get back to normal. She may have high expectations about what the doctor will allow her to do after her visit this week, specifically driving. The wound is much larger than I thought and I doubt she will be able to put enough pressure on it to drive this week. I think Nancy is planning on taking her to her appointment on Tuesday and I will take Dad to the cardiologist on Wednesday.

Charlotte and I have been blessed to have had our granddaughter with us for an extended period of time over the last 10 days or so. She is approaching her third birthday and is smart, cute, creative and more and more interactive. She talked with Dad on the phone the other day for about 5 minutes. She walked around with the phone tucked between her chin and shoulder just chattering away. She would hold different objects up to the phone as if Dad could see them and tell him the story behind each one. Dad really got a kick out of it.

John.20
[1] Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
[11] But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb;
[16] Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rab-bo'ni!" (which means Teacher).
[18] Mary Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

He has risen, He has risen indeed!

God is good!
