Well, it seems that I am running just a tad behind on everything right now... first spring, now Easter. But, as they say, better late than never! Easter is really an amazing day. Besides the fact that it is an opportunity to stock up on all kinds of sweets (such as chocolate bunnies, Easter egg Whoppers, and wind up chickens that dispense gum balls out of their rears), it is also a celebration of the miracle that Christianity hinges upon. Jesus Christ, a completely blameless, innocent man, being tortured and murdered for things he didn't even do, and then raising from the dead 3 days later? It doesn't get much bigger than that, folks! But wait, it actually does. Perfect eternal life with the Almighty God in Heaven, a gift we will never begin to be worthy of, a free gift given completely and wholly 100% out of love... now that's huge! For Christians, Easter should be the happiest, most joyful, most celebratory holiday of any of them. Yeah, it's even cooler than April Fool's Day and Halloween... hard to imagine, I know, but it's true!

Zack and I, all decked out for Easter. The big secret is that this is actually a reenactment, taken for the sake of my mother, because I missed out on the traditional Sunday Easter dresses picture, due to living in Mississippi. So this afternoon when I got out of class I texted Zack and told him to change back into the clothes he wore yesterday. He did, I did too, and we ran outside (it was cold!), had our friend snap a few pictures, then we all retreated back to the warmth inside. Now see, if I had never told you that, nobody would ever know this picture isn't really Easter!
