Christmas Tree

Back in November one of the Pastor’s at my church (Mars Hill Church in Albuquerque) approached me about heading up the Advent decor.  I was honored, and humbled, and a little nervous too.  I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do it because I was having surgery and didn’t know how it would go.  Greg and I prayed, and we felt like God said WE should do it.  So we said yes, with the understanding that I might be limited in what I could do.  God graciously provided help in the form of interns (you guys are bomb!)

The best part of Easter though?  Jesus.  It’s all about Jesus.  It’s the love story.  It’s the romance.  The intrigue.  The victory.

He’s God. He died a horrifying death.  He was lashed.  He was [...]
