Hi all...we went to the 9:30 service and then out to brunch, and are already back home and changed into comfy clothes and staying out of the rain and cold.  When I got to the church, the music minister came running up to me, in a tizzy.  The girl who was going to sing Via Dolorosa this morning was sick and he wanted me to fill in.  I wanted to say no - being Easter, there were about 3000 people in the mid morning service (we have services at 8;00, 9:30 and 11:00), but I felt that I should do it...just glad I was dressed really nice because they have several big screen on the walls, so everyone can see up close.  Glad I could help out and glad it is over&#33;&#33;&#33; Greg says I &quot;belted it out&quot; real good&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />The pastor spoke a great message on &quot;resurrection&quot; - not just that of the Lord, but also about there being hope thru Him, for resurrection in your relationships, finances, etc...<br /><br />Mary Lou, what a wonderful surprise for you and Jim.  I am so happy that you got to have that one on one time with your son.  We are just sitting here waiting on our youngest to arrive.  There was a boy from our church youth group who lived with us for a while when he was in high school - his dad left them and his mom got kicked out of her house and she told him at 17, that she was going to live with her boyfriend and he was on his own.  Anyway, he and Chris have remained friends and he usually comes to see us on special occasions and Chris told us this morning that Matt was coming up with him.  Hope TJ gets to feeling better quickly.<br /><br />Jackie, Nathaniel James is a beautiful name.  Are they going to call him Nate or Nathaniel?<br /><br />Martha, Jim, Ed, Steve, Kevin (where are you, anyway?) Sue, Joey, James, Andrea, Deb, Falina, Rose, Robert, Tonia, Shari, Carmen, Cheryl, and anyone else I missed - hope all of you are having a wonderful day.<br /><br /><!--sizeo:7--><span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->HAPPY EASTER<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />
