Easter In Ireland
He has Risen, He has Risen Indeed
The weather was beautiful this Easter Sunday. There is me catching a few rays and TaLeah stopped the ice cream truck and got herself a 99, that is a soft ice cream with a flake bar stick into it. The ice cream truck makes its rounds all year long, the Irish seem to love their 99's.















Gary preached on how without the resurrection there is no point in celebrating Easter. Gary explained to the children that the seed that is planted in the ground looks dead but is given a new form when it grows into either a flower or a carrot or a tomato. Jesus conquered death and
received His glorified body and in doing so gave the same opportunity to those who believe and follow Him. What is it we need to believe? That Jesus really lived here on earth, that He was who He said He was (God in the flesh), that none of us humans are without fault and therefore separated from God, Jesus sacrificed Himself for our faults, conquered death and now is in eternity with God waiting for those who believe all this. Sounds amazing and it is. A life spent finding out who Jesus was and
is and how He would have us live, is an amazing journey. It sure has been for us. Hey am I preaching? Move over pastor Gary!!

Preach it sista! Seriously, you've summed up what our faith is all about. He has risen indeed!
Why do you think it's called a 99? It looks warm there...nice.
