Happy Easter Everyone.

You know that this means shaving, showering, putting on a suit and all of that fun stuff don't you? And being nice at the dinner table and stuff? And fellas comin in from the chicken coop with straw in our hair and breath smelling like moonshine, and then denying did anything wrong?

And this creates another problem. The last three Easters on the northern border of Indiana we had snow. Hiding the Easter eggs was easy. I just didn't color them and walked around the deck and tossed them strategically around down into the snow. "Alright kids, put on your coats and boots and go find your Easter eggs". That sure was easy, just waited until after the snow melted and walked around picking up most of them that weren't found. Now here's the problem: Is supposed to be like 60 tomorrow and no snow. Now what am I supposed to do? Color and hide them things for real? I'll get my suit dirty and stuff. Oh no.

Happy Easter everyone.

In our area future cast weather predicted 2-2.5 inches of rainfall and in the Wichita area up to 3.5 inches. Even dry western Kansas is to get over an inch, which they really need.

If your area is like our just toss them out early and wait for them to sink into mud.

Wishing you a good Easter as well. Thanks.

Just got home from 6am mass. Always feel better about life after mass. Always.

We don't consider Eas ter a pagan holiday. It is a Chris tian holiday to celebrate that person that evidently I can't mention due to some yt protocal arising from the grave after dying on the cross. C H R I S T

As usual Joe is completely clueless. He can celebrate Passover all he wants but for the rest of us who aren't Jewish, it makes no sense. Passover was the season of thanksgiving people of the Jewish faith held each year in celebration of the Angel passing over the households in Egypt that had the blood on the door posts. The Angel came to "harvest" the first born son so the enslaved Jewish people were instructed to paint the door posts as a sign that the Angel should "passover" their home and not take the first born. Since I doubt many here are orthodox Jews, we don't say Happy Passover. We are believing Christians and the holiday we are celebrating is in remembrance of the trial, death and resurrection of our Savior. It is not pagan in the slightest, it is a holiday that is unigue to our specific faith. Any idiot who says it is pagan because it isn't in the Bible is a bigger fool than we ever thought. The word Easter isn't in the Bible because the events were unfolding as the Bible was being penned. Just the same as the Bible doesn't mention Christmas, it was not titled that until centuries later but that doesn't make it pagan, it is a name attached by the church to celebrate a religious holiday. We celebrate Easter and the week preceeding it in memory and appreciation of the great gift we recieved by the death and resurrection of Christ our Lord. As with every religious holiday, the workers of Satan try to dissuade from the importance and true meaning of the holiday. We are bombarded with all sorts of messages about worldly things in an effort to keep our minds and thoughts off the true value of the birth of Christ and the death and resurrection. Any thing to distract us from the magnitude of the issue, that someone gave their life in place of ours and then was even able to concour the hold of death, by walking out of that tomb. That is what Easter is about and why we of faith celebrate this Holy Day.
Joe shows us how totally clueless he is by saying we should be celebrating Passover. He evidently isn't bright enough to know that Passover has absolutely not a thing to do with the death or ressurection. Passover is strictly a holiday in thanksgiving of the Angels passing over the Jewish captives households. That holiday does not have the slightest semblance to the one we celebrate this weekend. We owe our salvation to the deeds accomplished by Good Friday and Easter Sunday morning. It is because of our gratitude for these deeds that we celebrate this season. We will not let anyone cheapen the importance of this holiday by their foolish drival.
Remember guys, we serve a risen Saviour, who is in the World today, I know that HE is with me, whatever men may say.

Guys!, We as God fearing, Jesus professing Christians should greet eachother today.....
"He has risen" Then answer back if someone else speaks first "He has risen indeed"!
Happy Easter Ya'll
He has risen!

PS HE sent us a very nice rain for Easter In the High Texas Panhandle... Stratford Texas area!

pass over is a jew ish holiday , je ws don't believe the sav iour has yet been born let alone cruci fied and res surected , Chri st mas and eas ter to me are chri st ian holidays celebrating the birth and the crusi fixion/ res surection of Je sus. (evidently I have to break up such words or I get an off topic notice and can't post.)

Joe, they also ignored Matthew 12:40 when they celebrated "Good Friday." But truth doesn't matter to them, the only thing that matters is how it makes them feel.

As Christians, the Passover was a symbol of the death and resurrection of Christ. For those who are saved, they are saved by the blood of a different Lamb, and the angel of everlasting death will pass over them as they are given the gift of everlasting life. It is the body andthe blood of this Lamb, the Lamb of God, who saves us from perishing, just as surely as the blood of the lamb saved the firstborn of the children of Israel when they were in Egypt.

So the Passover SHOULD be significant in the lives of Christians, because it portends a better, more perfect "Passover" that is yet to come as we, like the Israelites before us, make our journey to a more perfect "Promised Land."

God's love to all ...

Well the forecasters must have plugged some wrong data into the future cast as we never did get heavy rainfall and wound up with only .80 of an inch.
