He Is Risen

I know for Easter you're supposed to think about all of Christ's last days on Earth and the events that took place but today all that seemed to consume my thoughts was the resurrection.
This is one of my favorite doctrines. It to me is by far the happiest doctrine and puts everything about this life into such a happy and optimistic perspective. No matter how much sadness and sorrow there is here in this life there's more. And that more always seemed to make whatever happens here worth it. Because Christ did what he did death has no power over us. EVERYONE gets to live again. It's a doctrine that gives me the slightest insight into the love that God has for every.single.person. My favorite Easter scripture is from Luke chapter twenty-four verse five and six:
"...Why seek ye the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen..."
 Christ lives and because He lives we all will live after we die here. I don't know exactly how it will be but all I know is that is what done by the power of love so it has to be good.

  2. The gift of resurrection to ALL is such a wonderful gift that requires no effort on our part. The gift of exhalation even a greater gift that requires our all to full receive. GREAT scripture - one of my favs too.

  3. I'm finally getting around to commenting. I get the same thrill out of being able to get motivated by the Conference talks and music. I can't wait for the Ensign to refresh my memory again.
    Glad you are having good success with working. I really miss my Washington family and hope to get to come see them in the near future.
    Spring where are you. We woke up to snow this morning. Winter just won't give up.
    We sure liked Conner being here. He was like a boyfriend to both Lori and I - doors opened etc, etc. He probably felt like a boy scout helping old ladies across the street all the time. I love you and think of all in your family so often. Got to remember Megan's birhday. I'm always sooo slooow.
