He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

The empty tomb.  Come and see - 

He is Risen!  He is Risen Indeed!

Good Friday

As part of our "Holy Week" devotions we are made a cross and tomb.

⁴ 

Surely he took up our pain

    and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

    stricken by him, and afflicted.

⁵ 

But he was pierced for our transgressions,

    he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

    and by his wounds we are healed.

⁶ 

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

    each of us has turned to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

    the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:4-6

Happy Belated Birthday Uncle Herb!

Surprises!

Saturday we had a very sweet surprise.  Calvin and I were headed to a "Valentine's Party" with his 2nd grade class.  When we arrived everyone jumped out and yelled "Surprise."  It was really a baby shower  (and big brother shower) honoring Jaime who is expecting in April and myself.  Such a sweet school "family."  We have officially started our showering of pink!
