Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you, too!  It is both an important religious holiday and has become a very important family gathering day, too: our neighbors are buddhists, so Easter hardly has religious significance for them, but I've watched this last week as all the kids and grandkids have come home from where they live now for the weekend - they are having a wonderful family time of it, I can tell. 

 

I hope, too, that Easter holiday weekend is the final bookend to the terrible winter we all had, and that a nice summer awaits.  The omens are not good since it is cold and wet here in NC, but we shall see what.

It's interesting how 'Easter' really separates the world's major religions in that you can usually go to the country of origin and the adherents will gladly point out where their leader is entombed.  No so Christianity - Jesus is not there outside Jerusalem. The tomb is empty. He is risen...

Instead of celebrating Easter, I prefer to celebrate the rite of spring and marvel at the rebirth of the planet as the trees, flowers and crops emerge with their gorgeous displays of color! Our horticultural center here in Nashville had a fantastic display of 100,000 tulips and a garden through which winds a large G gauge track with operating trains!

 

To those who do celebrate Easter: HAPPY EASTER!

Well, actually there are the 3 baskets in Buddhism.... (Tripitaka - their sacred books) *its kind of a joke Lee*

The big church I go to normal weekend attendance is 8,000 but for Easter they rent this huge tent, it seats 9,600. We get 20,000 in two services there are some chairs outside. It was a beautiful sunny day 85. Our pastor is really good, I feel uplifted and happy.

After church a potluck party at a friends house, with a great time amongst friends.

The reason we get more people than other big churches in the area is we have the parking someone said. We can park in a huge shopping center parking lot adjacent to the tent, pius in a big field also
