Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter celebrating the rising of our Lord & Savior from the dead. It is truly amazing and awe inspiring when you process the fact the the Being who is described as the King of Kings and to whom every knee shall bow would suffer the humiliation and horrific pain of dying on a cross as a criminal - all for my and your sins! But He overcame death and we too can overcome our being dead in our sins and trespasses if we should so believe and trust in the atoning work He did for us on the cross. He didn't die on the cross for any other purpose but to redeem you and me to bring Him praise and glory. Praise be to God!

Luke & Basketball: Year 1

Well, with the excitement of going on a big spring break trip to Florida, I never did get the chance to update you all on Luke's first year in basketball. It finished on a high note with Luke scoring his first basket in the last period of the last game. I like finishing on top, don't you? :) Since the weather has turned nicer, he's been out shooting hoops and dribbling his ball more. I think he's improved even more since the end of the season! No, I still don't foresee an elite future in basketball for him but I'm glad he's have a great time and is learning a sport.

Now - I've got him signed up for some more "intense" swimming lessons this summer. A sport I think he's much more likely to excel in - it is also one of his favorite things to do!

Here's some photos. My hats off to all those sports photographers out there!
