time-out
another Easter has come and gone. It seems so anti-climatical. if life was like 8th street, easter barely would have been one of the infinite amount of pot-hole interupting my drive. say it isn't so kevin, say it isn't so. I guess most religious holidays have become so anti-climatical over the years. all the confusion of the traditions crowding our little heads till we don't even know what we're celebrating. Amidst the materialism of Christmas, there is still some kind of pause... a time-out to hear the message of Christmas. But this Easter recieved no such pause....
Jesus, thanks for dying for me. Sorry for treating you with such contempt at times. I'm sorry that the Easter Bunny and chocolate eggs steal the attention from you. that sucks. Most of all thanks for conquering death and sin and giving me freedom.
Saturday after work i headed to Lloydminster. Two reasons: Sarah and Kenny. It was a good time. 13 people got baptized at the Lloyd church yesterday. that's pretty darn good if you ask me.
K, i don't really have much to say right so I'm going to pause and celebrate Easter for the next 5 minutes... it's 5 minutes more than most people celebrated...

Great post kevin,
I couldn't agree with you more, people get so caught up in corny traditions like chocolate, candy, and a gay little pink bunny that comes and hides eggs around your house once a year.
Its almost as if people have completley forgotten the true meaning of easter. And perhaps many people have forgotten. Its not about family, Its not about candy, Its not about chocolate and gay bunnies. Its about God and his son, who died to save us all.even me lol.
But all we can do to change things around again, its keep spreading the word of God and showing his love to the world.
By the way thanks for the prayers, they mean lots lol.

Kevin sorry but i disagree with you. This was one of the most amazing Easters i think i ever have had. I went to the community service of all the evangelical churches in Regina and it was amzaing. It totally reminded me and made me pause of who Christ is to me and to this world. I as well went to a sunday baptism service and found it to be really fitting. I found no distractions of the easter bunny or chocolate between me and God.
I am so thankful for weekends that are given to us to take an extra time to say thanks God.

i think that many of the songs we sing in church have an overall lack of depth. there are some good songs but there are also a lot of fluffy, meaningless songs. i think that the onus is on you Joe, and other worship leaders to make sure that you pick theologically sound songs... more than just a good tune... I'm sure you do but i'm just throwing that out there.
