Super Easter

Easter Weekend was fantastic! The Mardocks journeyed down here Saturday morning and we all found ourselves immediately discussing and adventuring to find a new local fun and yummy eatery. We found one indeed. Sunshine Tavern on SE division. Highly recommend. The food and drink were tasty, and the other draw to the restaurant was their heavy advertising of being kid friendly. The place was hopping with folks young and old. We had a fantastic time and were thoroughly pleased and stuffed (gravy fries, burgers, rigatoni, salads, all top drawer). Rachel and Jeanne ordered Citrus and Ginger sodas; unique but refreshing. And given the busyness of the place on a holiday eve Saturday the service was wonderful. Oh, and they house a shuffleboard right in the middle in the restaurant. Who doesn't like shuffleboard?

Easter Sunday. In the morning we made our way to Riverwest Church and heard Pastor Guy preach on Luke 24. A sobering, encouraging and sometimes humorous message about the reality of Christ, His resurrection, and His desire to have a relationship with each one of us. Give the above passage a read!

Gathering friends and family to our home after Church, the kids played well and hard while glorious amounts of wonderful foods were being prepared. There really isn't much more needed in life than celebrating Christ in fellowship with others you love gathered around eating a well prepared meal. Well, okay, there is one more thing I'm sure the kids would add; watching Cars. Check out these little dudes; wrecked, whooped and veggin'. How Cute! I love Daylon's arm resting on Jude.

Luke 24 : 13-18
"And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. And He said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad. One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"

Heh heh, oh Cleopas. His buddy, "Hey Cleo, remember when we were headed to the springs in Emmaus?..."
