Resurrection

Lent is over, and a new day dawns. This is true for me, my family, and the church. There is new life as spring begins as well, although the weather isn't very supportive yet. Pain and uncertainty remain, but they are drowned out by true joy and hope.

My son is only nine months old, and he's already pulling himself to his feet holding on to my hands. Then he steps up, by himself, on the footrests of my chair, and we share a hug.

We are moving again soon, and for once, there is no (or at least, very little) anxiety, because there will be family and friends close at hand.

If you know me well, and are still unsure as to why we go to the church we do now, read this and maybe it will help. Paige, the writer, was raised in a non-instrumental Church of Christ, so her journey is a bit similar to ours. She does call God "Her" at one point, but if that's an issue for you, please try to look past it. Her post is all about the Eucharist, but that is the main reason for our switch, and I couldn't have explained Holy Communion's significance in my life any better.

Anyway, I'll try to keep this updated throughout the move.

We appreciate all your prayers, love, and support.
