A friend of mine emailed me this song today. I've had a hard time with You tube lately, and was so thrilled to get it. I needed it so badly.

My heart is so heavy and my emotions are running every which way.

A little couple that just recently came to our community as Youth Director of a neighboring Church came home Thursday with their new baby daughter. Our largest hospital is 40 miles away. Their recently turned two year old son greeted them.

Both sets of grandparents were there, and had been there keeping the first born....When they were not looking the two year old got out of the house, and went down to a nearby pond. He drowned.

Our community is devastated. Our hearts bleed and are broken for this couple, these grandparents and this precious little boy.

Please remember them in your prayers this blessed Easter Sunday.

Thank you. Heide

JELLY BEAN POEM

Little jelly beans
Tell a story true.
A tale of Father's love
Just for me and you.

GREEN is for the waving palms.
YELLOW is for the sun above.
BROWN is for the soft earth where
People sat hearing of HIS love.

A SPECKLED bean for fish and sand.
RED for precious wine and
BLACK is for the sin
He washed from you soul and mine.

PURPLE'S for the sadness of
HIS family and His friends,
WHITE is for the glory of
The Day HE rose again.

Now that you've heard the story
You know what each color means.
The story of our Father's love
Told by some jelly beans.
So every morning take a bean
They're really very yummy.
Something for the soul, you see
And something for the tummy.

Happy Easter

I have very little Irish in me, but what I've got, I'm proud of. My Granddad McCormick was your typical Irishman. He lived with us until I was ten. He had the most beautiful blue Irish Eyes!

Easter this year is: Sunday March 23, 2008

As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon
after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20).
This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people
used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.

Found out a couple of things you might be interested in! Based on the
above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.

This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our
lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early
(95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a
day earlier! Here's the facts:

The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228
(220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're
95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).

The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year
2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one
alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!
