Easter Weekend

Woohoo!  It's almost Easter Weekend!  Today is my Friday of sorts, Asahi opts to not make the office staff work on Fridays, and I believe it isn't a full staff out in the shop either. 

I love Easter.  It used to just be the candy.  Then it was the candy, sunshine, and flowers.  Now, it is the sunshine, candy, flowers, and Jesus.  It is the reminder of how amazing our God is.  I try to remember to take time to thank Him for the sacrifice as often as possible.  To come to earth, live like a regular person, be persecuted, beaten, and tried and executed as the lowliest criminal, just to be the living sacrifice so we can be free!  No more animal sacrifices, no more human sacrifices, the ultimate price was paid!  Hallelujah! 

Luke 22-24 is a good place to read the accounts of Jesus dying and rising.  I'm a fan of the Amplified version of the Bible, but for a more fluid, story-like reading, try NIV or NLT.  http://www.youversion.com/bible/luke.22.amp

Tonight I'm going to a friend's crop night, and hopefully I'll have super cool layouts to share afterwards! 

Busy Bloggy Lady

Whew!  I've been very busy lately!  I feel terrible that I've been neglecting my blog.  I'm going to be making some changes, and switch gears a little. 

I've been neglecting my time with God as well, and I am ashamed of myself.  The best part, though, is that He understands, and will welcome me back into our special time without a grudge.  I am going to be starting a brief study on the Book of Ruth in the Bible, and comparing different versions of it.  The Bible Study group that I'm a part of is thinking about doing Ruth, but whether we do or don't, I think it's a short, easy book to start with deep study.  (Ruth is only 4 chapters long)

Stay tuned for some more Christian type things, it's about time!
