Good Friday

    Ah, Good Friday. Easter is probably my favorite holiday. And it's not just because of the candy (although that is a lovely addition). It's because of the true meaning: The death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. How much these things mean to me I cannot say in words. 

    As a child (if I have even moved on from childhood :P), I knew that the meaning of Easter was the day that Jesus rose from the dead, but not until recent years did I take into account what this meant. This meant that Christ had already died for my sins and conquered death, and now he had risen again. He revealed himself to many people on earth so that they could tell others about his sacrifice. Then he ascended to heaven to sit on the right hand of the Father, leaving behind hope where there was once was none.

    I thank God that He revealed all this to me. That I have the hope that Jesus died to give: the hope of eternal life to live with him in heaven. He has also given me a light to shine into the darkness of this world. If you are reading this and have never heard this news before, I urge you to find a Bible and read the entire Gospel. See what God has done for you! I wish that I could convey the Gospel better, but I hope that you can at least understand why I love it so much. And why I love Easter and Good Friday so much. On Good Friday he died. On Easter he rose victorious.

    Enjoy your Easter!

Thankfulness...

Ollo,

   Those are the words of Megamind coming to you from a geek. Yah...anyway!

   I've decided to, as many have done before me (Melanie thanks for the idea :) ), start listing things that I am thankful for. I think that I will aim for 100 things. Which should be pretty easy considering all that God has given me to be thankful for. And this will also give you a little insight to my life and what I love :) Yay! So here goes:

   1. Jesus Christ (I will always be most thankful for Him)
   2. the piano in my living room
   3. my ipod (which I could never live without jk)
   4. my Dad...my Mom...my bro...my sis
   5. Hot tea (This is how I am still alive peeps...gotta love ya some)

   Five every post is how I would like to do this...but some days maybe I will just open up and write out 20 at one time. Oh how much God has given me to be thankful for!!!
