April 8, 2007 was Easter Sunday. As is tradition at S.E.F.C., we had a wonderful sunrise breakfast at 8:00a.m. (O.K., sunrise was around 7, but it was very cloudy that day) After a delightful menu of eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, fruit, rolls, potatoes,(somebody ask Dan Quayle about my spelling!) coffee and O.J., we settled in for a long winter's nap. No, wait. It had been snowing, and was about 17 that morning, but the thrill was celebrating with family the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus. This was a beautiful time of looking at the big picture of salvation, from broader perspective. An Easter message from....Exodus, of course!
From songs, prayers and reminiscences of how much we are blessed, to sharing communion and singing Rise Again, the family of God didn't talk of an Easter bunny, or how 'the world' has stolen the meaning of Easter. A dead man rose from the grave and spoke to his friends. He gave us marching orders, and promised the power of His Spirit. All in all, a pretty good day. A pretty good day indeed!
