He is Risen!

"If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you." Romans 8:11

We celebrated Easter for several days in our house. Our church puts on a Passion Play (aka "Jesus Shall Reign"), so we have been busy! We did a performance Friday and Saturday night, and will do three more this coming weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). (pictures coming soon) On Thursday night, I made us our Easter dinner: ham, mashed potato casserole, and rolls. It was soooo good and has lasted us through the weekend, and all the way to Monday night! (Not to mention I got the ham at a GREAT price from Aldi.) I also made a Ressurection Cake. (I was busy in the kitchen on Thursday!!!) Each layer of the cake stands for something different. Here are the layers and their meanings:

Chocolate cake: our sin
Red (or pink) icing: stands for Christ's blood
Plain yellow cake: stands for Christ's ressurected body
Green icing: stands for spiritual growth in Christ
Blue cake: Stands for the Holy Spirit and that He is always with us
Yellow icing: Stands for heaven...one day we will be with Him forever



check out those hands


Josiah actually ate the cake...WOW!
