Being a Magi Master and an eleven-year old kid colors my perspective for everything, but I notice it more on days like today. Good Friday is a very solemn time for many, if not most, Christians. Pastors Lewis and Martha led us through a very subdued and emotional service, but after going home and getting changed; Rowen and I met up again with the rest of a beautiful spring day ahead of us to enjoy. While it’s not quite the same thing, I feel the same way about Good Friday as I now do about Memorial Day – thanks to my family and friends in Witch Falls. Remembering and honoring Jesus’ sacrifice is important, but so is celebrating the lives we have today because of that ultimate gift of Grace.
Rowen and I spent a lot of time at the park, including taking Ethan and Ehlana there for an hour or so while Mom and Violet worked on a lesson. Dillon was coming for dinner with us, and we were having Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne, and the Emersons over for a barbeque too. Aunt Deborah and Nick were busy with his family, and it seemed very quiet without having the usual big family long-weekend meals, but we did all enjoy having a few hours to just hang out together. Rowen stayed for a sleepover even though she was working at the store in the morning, and we’ve been in the lounge watching a movie, surfing the web, and talking with Mandy since helping to put Ethan and Ehlana to bed.
That’s pretty much all the news from here for today, and Rowen and I are ready to get some sleep, so I’ll wrap this up too.
