I love the precious word pictures that just pour out of the Word. Resurrection morning: The Prince of Peace has risen, the king's seal was broken, his greater error has become a reality, and an angel of the Lord is sitting on his stone. What a finality and dominion. No need to stand in defiance for it was no act of defiance to roll your stone away. Simply sitting will do fine. Perhaps the angel was whistling a tune as he sat upon the broken seal. What a King, what a power, what a wonderful communion.
Julie and I had a wonderful Easter this year. Saturday night we were busily preparing for the family to come over. Julie's older sister, April, has two kids, Hannah who is six and Brendon who is three. April and Jerome, Nathan (Julie's brother) and Rachel (his fiance), Bro Jones and Sis Jones, all came over for Easter dinner. Julie and I made Easter eggs for our Easter egg hunt.
It was fun, and not near as messy as I had thought it would be.
And for dinner we had fillet Mignon! Julie's mom had bragged to everyone about my steak, so the pressure was on. Thankfully we found this AWESOME meat market that sold 8 oz, bacon wrapped filet's for just 4.99! I took the picture of them marinating Sunday morning to send to the guys, but my phone was having problems... Anyway all went well. I missed my family and my church family, but I had a beautiful Easter morning.
When she pulled this one out of the die she said, "I'd been waiting on that one..." I can hear the gag reflexes now, Lynn... she is actually anticipating my cheesyness. Isn't it great!
I know to the casual observer these may look bad, but they are primed and ready for grilling, olive oil marinade with italian dressing and a bunch of Montreal Steak Seasoning... mmm!!
