Thanks to everyone who sent wonderful Birthday Wishes!! They were Treasured!!
I had a great day on my Birthday (Wednesday)! It was "Funny Feet" day at school,
as we are celebrating Reading Month. We read Dr Seuss books every week. Yesterday was the "FOOT BOOK" and that's why our theme was Funny Feet.
We even had Foot Long Sandwiches! This picture of Chris and Caleb was on Favorite Character day. Caleb is Woody from Toy Story, and Chris is... well... Chris is Eli Manning. (So contrary to our Razorback Blood!! :) ) So I had a Great Birthday at school! Even better, was that I got to meet with one of my "babies" - you know they are ALL my babies!! But I got to have an awesome meeting with her and really talk about what Life in the Spirit is all about, and about what Walking with Jesus would look like. It was really awesome... I can't imagine any other way, that I would have liked to have spent my birthday... than 2 hours over some French Fries talking about Jesus and how awesome He is.

This week is very special to me... and to all who believe in the Resurrection Power of Jesus. This week in history was marked by a HUGE and Drastic change of the mood of the "Crowd." At the beginning of the week, they (the crowd) were throwing their coats in the road to honor Jesus, as He rode in on a donkey. They would CHEER "Hosanna" and call out to each other that HERE is the long awaited Messiah!! Here He is, they would say. ... ... Then a few short days later... the same crowd SCREAMING HATE and FUELING BITTER RAGE against the SAME MAN!! The SAME MAN that had come to THEM, to Save THEM and to Show them the WAY! They refused to hear, and joined with the crowd.The journey and the Emotional Roller Coaster of Christ this week... Too hard to imagine... As if the crowd was not enough... then one of YOUR OWN, betrays you... Sellin
g you out for money. That must have been a painful blow. Even Peter, one of your DEAREST, denying that he knew you. Begging for the Cup that you KNOW you must take... to be taken if possible. Then FULL OBEDIENCE to the PATH that HE was CALLED TO, by HIS FATHER! Amazing Love! Amazing Obedience! Amazing Courage!THEN... the Awesome POWER of the EMPTY GRAVE! Without this, all that we know is FOR NOTHING! The Resurrection IS what makes us Christians... What makes Jesus's LOVE COMPLETE!
Amazing LOVE! Amazing JESUS! Amazing GRACE!
