Well it's hard to believe it the first of April and of course Easter as we believers honor this day as the foundation for our belief that JESUS rose from the grave to atone for us before GOD the father and if we have that faith then even after our bodies in the flesh are long dead we will live forever in heaven.
Saturday was a busy day that started with my usual roll out around 6 to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and spent some quiet time with my Creator. All seems well with everyone who are in our thoughts and prayers and now we have one more to add; our little Eliza Faye fell yesterday at the park breaking both bones in her right arm between the wrist and elbow. Amy and Tyler brought her by after leaving the E.R. to pick up Ava and Sam who stayed with us while they attended to her. She has a sling on for now and they will probably cast her arm the first of the week. She was so brave and pitiful at the same time. Pray that she recovers completely with no surgery.
Well I headed out to the rec. a little before 8 for an hour of pickle ball then rode over to the college to help with the 9 AM load in for BridgePoint Church. We had a ton of folks for a change which made the set up so much faster and easier. Afterwards I pedaled back to the rec. to help with the Family Day our church was sponsoring for the community. The weather was not the best but despite the cool wind and overcast we still had several hundred. We were prepared for 1500 attendees but didn't come close. There were several egg hunts depending on the age of the kids as well as several bump houses also depending on the ages of the kids as well as laser tag and several different varieties of food trucks which produced some very delicious food until 2 PM.
I saw lots of folks with their kids from the hood as well as several grand kids from my pickle ball friends. I'm hoping we have a good turnout this morning (Sun) at the two services as we help folks get closer to GOD. Lots of folks who don't attend church regularly do so on the big holidays of Christmas and Easter. I headed home around 2'ish to rest and read for an hour before we got the news on Eliza Faye. The rest of the day was spent watering the gardens and getting ready for the family dinner with Bobby's and Amy's families as well as Dan and Carol. Betsy's family decided to stay home this year. Nancy has a nice leg of lamb ready to roast as well as smashed taters and gravy and carrots from the garden, the Botbyl's are bringing a salad and a veggie and Amy is making apple pies for dessert.
Well I tuned into the NCAA games and both teams I was rooting for got blown away as did the Ray's vs Boston. It's good to begin the baseball season again. Hope all have a great day and to remember the importance of this special holiday as all of us some day have to meet our Creator, LATER
