Rainy...Really Rainy Saturday


This past weekend, we experienced over 10 inches of rain in 2 1/2 hours. We had significant flooding. But nothing in our house. In the photo, Abby is watching what looks like a river - that's our street. She is standing on our driveway - just past the sidewalk. Once the rain stopped, the water receded significantly. During the heaviest of the rain, Abby asked, "Is it ever going to stop? I told her that it would. "Remember what God told Noah? That he wouldn't cause water to cover the whole earth again? How do we know his promise today? Remember the rainbow?" And Abby had a big smile on her face.

Resurrection of our Lord

He is risen!
Here is a rundown of my day:
up at 4:00 am
at church by 5:00
lead Sunrise service at 6:00
Get a quick bite to eat
Assist at services at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00
Got home a little after 1:00 pm
Ate some lunch
fell asleep

It threatened to rain and then did rain during and after the 11:00 service. Now there is not a cloud in the sky.

Easter Egg Hunt...On Holy Saturday

Here are some pics from our "Easter Egg Hunt." We did it on Saturday because...well, because we can. Sunday is waaay too busy and by the time we are done at church, all we want to do is crash. Enjoy. We'll see if we can get an Easter post together tomorrow.
