Easter Sunday

I'm so encouraged knowing that more and more people these days are realizing the incredible importance of Easter and what it means. I am teaching Sunday School at my church (please feel free to check out the website and listen to past sermons at ) and our lesson today was on John the Baptist. We discussed how he was sent to spread the news that Jesus was coming. How wonderful it was for me to be able to talk to them a bit about the preparation for Jesus and how we celebrated how he was brought back from the grave!
I was also so encouraged by all of the people who are so proud to exclaim that HE IS RISEN! In a society that is filled with sin, it's really great to see God shining through the lives and words of others.

I also wanted to share Aniston's pre-Easter picture...

Oh! And as she is getting ready to turn 12 weeks on Tuesday, I have found out that she has said her first word...Can you guess what it is? "dada" :) Sadfully it wasn't "DeeDee" as I would have hoped. I might get into the story of how I got the nickname "DeeDee" at a later time.
