Easter:

   Today is the American Easter.    We celebrate the Resurrection as a Church and as a royal Race and as individuals.    How do we know He is risen?  I know, because He touched me.  and it changed everything.    I was lost and the Risen Lord  sought me out.  I have no question about that.  He is more real to me than the things that I see each day with my eyes and touch with my hands.    Lord Jesus, I am so thankful that you were willing to die publicly and rise again privately.   More than anything, thank you so much for the gift of Salvation and for the Resurrection Power that is available.   Please do whatever is needed in me, to make me more like you.  Use me for your Glory.   I want nothing else.
