Easter 2010 is celebrated on April 4 at the Chruch we Attend we refer to this day as Ressurection Sunday .
For Christians the week prior to Easter is called Holy week. It begins on Palm Sunday March 28th this year, days of Holy Week include:
March 28th Palm Sunday - Jesus enters Jerusalem.
April 1 Maundy Thursday - The Last Supper and betrayal.
April 2 Good Friday - The arrest, trial, crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus.
For Christians, there is no holiday more important than Easter. Easter is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. He had been crucified and was buried for three days. All his disciples had believed that he was gone for good. None had understood that his sacrifice was the primary purpose of his short life and the only way for us to obtain righteousness and restore our fellowship with God. No man had taken his life. There was no sin in him and no way for Satan to take his life. It was freely given for us all.
That first Easter morning proved beyond any doubt that Jesus was the Messiah. He had told the religious leaders and his disciples that He would give His life and on the third day rise from the grave. The religious authorities had remembered His words and tried to prevent it with a large stone in front of the tomb, a Roman seal and guards. But none of that prevented God's plan for that first Easter. For 40 days after Easter morning, many people were eyewitnesses to the resurrection.
I beleive Jesus is my Lord and Savior and Easter brings me great hope and Joy.
We celebrate Easter in the Spring reminding us of life renewal it coincides with the spring Equinox and Passover. I wish you all a Happy Celebration of life and pray you may find peace in happiness however you believe!

This N That
Well apparently I have a fan who wants an update ,or maybe a stalker?? I do worry it may be one of those crazy teens that were stalking my boy if that is the case you will be blocked. As long as you are friendly with respectful comments all are welcome. I do not tolerate hateful people that feel the need to insult others they have never met. There is too much hate, violence and mean angry people in this world. I want no part of it.
I started blogging to keep track of family and have a little fun with my "Free" Speech. I did not expect anyone to read it but family and friends. I have been very busy between work and home plus I had pneumonia recently. I'm still working on being healthier, my friend talked me into taking a herbal supplement to help with my weight loss. I'm so skeptical about dietary supplements. I'm well aware that the majority of our medicines originated from herbal remedies and there is science behind many but come on, Those magic diet pills have never worked for me just make my heart race and make me feel sick.
Against my better judgement I purchased Kelli's miracle Enfinitea. I was so frustrated with my lack of success with Weight Watchers and exercising that I Had to try something. My doctor told me not to worry about the scale as long as I kept it up. Well I was tired and frustrated so now I have been taking Efinitea, a Health and weight loss system for two weeks and have lost 10 lbs, 6 the first week 4 the next. I bounced back from the pneumonia faster than usual and honestly I feel good, no side effects. It is a Pro biotic based right here in Salt Lake city. Tomorrow I'm going to a meeting to meet the company people and maybe sign up to be a distributor. I have not decided on the distributor bit yet. I don't agree with the multi-level sale schemes and Utah seems to be full of them. We have Nu skin, Mona via, Usana, Noni, Neways we are the capital of pyramids! I swear they all hang out at LDS ward houses and get all the housewife's to sale their products. Here in Utah we take our supplements and abuse our prescription meds but we don't smoke or chew or go with the boys that do! lol
My weight loss is a lifetime battle and I may never win but I want to be healthier and that is my goal. My final judgement on Enfinitea is still to come once I have lost more weight and my liver & kidneys do not fail then I will give you my final opinion. I must always give the disclaimer if you are considering a weight loss program consult with your Doctor prior to beginning.
Happy Trails!

Happy Valentines Day
The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. Why do we put so much emphasis on it? Why are those commercial that make us think we need flowers or Jewelry from Jared's? Layne mentioned that most men find the holiday hard to deal with. Honestly if you love me, you love me all year long and I would prefer flowers and love notes periodically through out the year not just one day. When my boys were in Elementary I loved making Valentines day boxes, we had a lot fun being creative and crafty. I'm told by both of them it is hard for them also. In Junior High and High school they sale flowers to deliver to Valentines as a fund raiser. If the boys buy a flower for someone they assume you are "in Love" when you might only be friends and it often can put you in a predicament. In researching the history apparently in the 19th century the U.S. Greeting card industry started making Valentines day cards and it is the biggest money maker for them right behind Christmas. I believe this is why we celebrate it. Capitalism at it's best.
My suggestion if you are in love, show it all year long. Do not wait for Valentines to show appreciation. Do not pressure them for all those Valentines gifts or flowers make it a day to show love to everyone.
Happy Valentines!

The New Year
Well we made it through the first month of a new year. Life is still good. I lived to see another birthday on Sunday Jan 31, 2010. I'm thankful God stills thinks I have business to do on this earth and I'm thankful for each day I breath . We have gotten back in touch with many family and friends via the Internet this last month and I'm loving it. Chris is back at School after his winter break and first finals. He is doing well making friends and really becoming an adult. The adjustment of letting him grow up and be on his own is hard on his Dad but I see him relaxing a bit now. Nate is on the Wrestling team at Evergreen Junior high and doing well. It is hard for me to watch him at first but now I'm there cheering him on to hurt the other guy, I guess it brought the animal out in me!
I have been trying to be healthier this year that is my only goal and so far I'm staying on track. I have increased my exercises and I'm eating healthy as of today I have lost 10lbs...now the trick is keeping it up so I can continue to be healthy happy and breath. My Asthma has been terrible this year, the air has been the dirtiest int he nation and honestly I want to breath and live until I'm 100, now I'm 49 I guess I have lived almost half my life! I hope the next half I wont be choking and the air will be cleaner.
I will try and keep up the blog and keep in touch....

Merry Christmas form our house to yours
Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.
May Your Heart be filled with Christmas all Year long!
