J.C. Ryle

"When a man’s heart is cold and unconcerned about religion – when his hands are never employed in doing God’s work – when his feet are not familiar with God’s ways – when his tongue is seldom or never used in prayer and praise – when his eyes are blind to the beauty of the kingdom of heaven – when his mind is full of the world, and has no room for spiritual things – when these marks are to be found in a man the word of the Bible is the right word to use about him, and that word is, ‘Dead.’”

Easter Hee Haw


Yes, we had sort of an Easter hee haw this year. Never thought I would be fishing Easter weekend. In the snow. Down on the farm. When it was about 30 degrees outside! Okay, well maybe it wasn't quite that cold but it was pretty darn close. We took our annual trip to East Texas for Easter to visit the family. Boy we did not plan on it snowing in East Texas....big, fat juicy flakes for about half the day. But we didn't want to disappoint the kids, or should I say, we didn't want to disappoint Trey who had his hopes on going fishing for about two months now.

Luckily enough, the fish were biting! Beth caught 12 fish! Parker caught two but we thought that was a pretty good accomplishment for his first time. I caught zero but that was the plan. I didn't even touch a fishing pole. Or a worm. Or a minnow. I'll leave the fishing to the "professionals".



Anyway, I was too busy trying to warm my frozen fingers by the fire.

Too bad we didn't have any smores! Hum, thought for next year.

I love that no matter where I am or what I am doing I can celebrate Easter! Down on the farm. Fishing in freezing weather. I can still praise his name and rejoice that he died and rose again so that we could be set free.

Praise God...He lives!
