Free at Last!

Happy Easter! He is Risen! Yeah Jesus! Easter is so great! It is totally underated as a holiday. Jesus being born is great and reads Hope all over it, hope for being saved. But Easter is that hope fulfilled. Because Christ died and rose again we can now live! I think of Martin Luther King Jr when he said "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" That is what Easter is. We are free from sin, free from the bondage that holds us. Living in that freedom can be challenging, because it is a choice. This Easter I am choosing to live in Freedom!
Well I didn't mean to preach, it just came out. But it's so odd here in Michigan. Easter is a time of new life, spring is a time of new life, and well we have snow on the ground and it's like 30 degrees outside. Unreal. It's hard to remeber that it is Easter and not Christmas.
Well I wish you all a joyful and happy Easter!

Random thoughts

There is somthing empowering about going to the movies on a Monday afternoon all by myself. I used to do this quite often when I worked at Borders and had Mondays off. Last Monday I went to the movies and saw Amazing Grace. It was an amazing movie! Ha! No, it was really good and worth the $5.50 matinee price.
I took Monday off because our family dog died on Sunday and I needed a day of morning. It's taking longer than a day though. It's been hard, harder than I remember the loss of any of our other dogs. It's hard to get used too.
The weather is changing! Whoohoo! It's getting warm out! I have been watching a lot of Discovery's Planet Earth which is amazing and with the weather changing all I can think about is how much easier life will be for penguins. I really need to complain less. Watching the life of Emperor Penguins makes all of my problems seem dumb. I watched Happy Feet with my parents and it was really acurate as far as how Penguins mate, and live life. Now if there is a dancing Penguin, I have no idea.
That was random, reminding me of a book I am reading by Anne Lamott who's son's favorite thing to say is, gosh that's random.
