Published 11:59 pm Saturday, April 19, 2025 “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but he has risen.” Luke 24:5 As dawn breaks on Easter morning, Christians will give pause and thanks for the light. For the light brings not just the new day, but the reminder of the hope and belief that provides the foundation for our faith.

Published 11:52 pm Saturday, April 19, 2025 Easter has always been a highlight of the year for me. Set in Spring, it is indeed a time of renewal, a time of new birth and new life, and a time to celebrate the wondrous love of God. He gave His only son so that we all might live. Truly, we are blessed to have a Savior. His name is Jesus. He was tortured, crucified, and placed in a borrowed tomb. Those who killed Him thought that was the end of Him.
