Easter

This weekend is Easter. Steph and I wont be going home because Kyle's wedding is next weekend and we are going home for that instead. We will be heading over to the Petersen's for lunch after church to hang out with Ed and Jean, Tyler, and Jean's parents. It should be pretty fun and definitely good food.
Easter is an interesting time of the year. More people go to church on this holiday than any other time during the year. I feel like it is based solely on tradition, such as the whole family gets together and goes to church, then comes home and has a big easter meal. I wish more people took it seriously and realized how important the day really is. The resurrection is one of the most vital parts of Christianity. Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, but him rising from the dead conquered sin and proved he was not just fully man but also fully God. All other figureheads in religion cannot make this claim, they all died but none of them have risen again! The cross is empy and our sins are forgiven. What a blessing it is to be able to celebrate this day!!
