In spite of a week of high pollen and the resulting allergies and a plunge in temperature of about forty degrees, we were able to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and newness of life! Josh and Hope worked hard to make the church events and celebrations come off in great fashion. The choir sang great under the direction of our awesome director, Sharon Ballenger (I did my best in spite of a profusion of mucous!); Travis preached a great sermon on resurrection life illustrated (thanks to Josh, with video testimonies of those in the congregation who've been brought out of darkness into His marvelous light!
I tried a new Paula Deen lemon cake recipe, which tasted great but did NOT look like the picture. Even my mom the food stylist couldn't make it look like it! The recipe probably won't make it in the permanent file. We had honey glazed ham, mom's potato salad, pistachio/Watergate salad, seven-layer salad (peas, other veg, cheese, bacon, ranch dressing), various breads.
New dresses for all the girls. A tradition I hope I can always keep.
And speaking of newness of life: there's Lex! Proof of the Resurrection of Jesus. Hope was healed through Resurrection Life; Josh was resurrected out of a life of darkness, death and despair. And now Lex lives!
He is risen indeed!

That does sound like a wonderful day! Everyone looks so nice in their new dresses.Ths food sounds like it was quite a feast. Our day was good. Church was nice with Robb delivering a moving sermon. As far as Easter events go, there is not a lot to tell about... no big lunches- just a good nap time.
