LAST APRIL WEEKEND
Now one weekend between the present and election day: Linden is ready - not in regard to election prep but ready for it to be behind us.

Friday brought the normal Men's Prayer Breakfast and blog posting followed by several election related tasks, welcome emails from Austria, the normal life maintenance tasks and mailing the sales tax report for Linden's publishing empire.

Saturday was a day of breakage: a saucer, the plastic holder for the flexible shower head holder and (worst of all) the connection between the commode flush lever and the flapper. Makes flushing more manual but, regardless, there is no fixing of anything planned until after the election. Linden had more election related activities and a nice call from an acquaintance who is recommending a candidate for State Attorney General (Linden should be a voting attendee of the Republican State convention.) Received a most welcome email from a Minister met in Austria last year: he and his family live in Belarus. He said that Easter is celebrated in Eastern Europe on April 27. It had been months since his last message: His Easter message should appear at the end of this posting.

Sunday brought Church, Sunday School, brunch with friends, paper reading and, in the evening, a pitch-in dinner at Church followed by evening services. Derek Dickinson, for whom we provide some support for his church planting effort in Fairbanks. Alaska, was the featured speaker. Good day! Tomorrow is the due date for Julie and Kenneth's first child.

EASTER

Daylight turned into darkness when Jesus was dying on the cross. Luke described it as “the sun was darkened”. The longest night came to earth, which began “about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth” (Luke 23:44-45). The darkness of this long night disappeared and the first sunbeams shed light on Earth when Christ was risen! The tomb was empty and stone was rolled away! “The angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it” (Math. 28:2)
During these wonderful days of celebration I wish dark nights of problems to get enlightened by resurrection of Christ. I also want a heavenly messenger who sat upon a stone by the tomb to remind us that there are no hopeless situations.
Happy Easter, dear Linden! Christ is risen – Indeed is risen!
