Happy Easter!



I'm pretty sure this was my favorite conference talk last week. I do love Elder Holland. The man has a gift with words.

This Easter Sunday, I'm incredibly grateful for the knowledge of the restored gospel, that I know that Christ lived here on Earth - that He lived for us, that He died for us, and that He then lived for us again. The knowledge that He loved us (me) enough to have suffered all that he suffered, so that we (I) may have the gift of eternal life is truly humbling. I'm so incredibly grateful for the peace that knowing this brings into my life, for the love that this brings into my heart.

I love Easter. I love Him. ... And I love all of you who come and check my blog out every now and then. (Even if we haven't ever met in real life.) I do hope you enjoy this little video clip. It's the most life/faith affirming thing I've seen in some time, so I wanted to share it with you on this special day.

Happy Easter!

That talk reached the most interior section of my heart and spoke volumes to it. What an unspeakably beautiful act of love and obedience on Christ's part--and all of it for us. It is impossible to comprehend, but Elder Holland continues to touch my Spirit, which I think is the only way we can begin to understand the Atonement at all. I appreciate your thoughts, Laurie, and I appreciate you. Happy Easter to you!

Also, THANKS for the Easter surprise. I would post a picture here...but don't know how (or can't; not sure which). Any who, thanks!
