Happy Easter!!!!!

HAPPY EASTER ALL!!! :D

Jesus is risen! Hallelujah and praise the Lord!! The Evil One has been defeated. And he has no power over us, for we have the blood of Christ covering us like a shield, and he can not touch us. 

This year I have had a single question darting across my mind. Why do we not celebrate Easter? While we go ballistic over Christmas. I'm not against that, but it seems to me, that as much as we celebrate Christmas, we should celebrate Easter all the more. After all, Christmas was when the warrior was dubbed a knight, while Easter was when the victory was one, when the knight's task was completed.

So let's celebrate!! That's what I intend to do! I plan on taking my box of pringles, and part-y-ang!! :)

Here's a poem I wrote a while back about the crucifixion:

An End And A Beginning

I looked up at the man on the center cross. 

I could tell he was unlike those hanging beside him who I myself had seen judged

guilty before Pilate. 

But this man Pilate had thought innocent, though the crowds claimed him guilty, and in fear of a mob, he had washed his hands and handed him over to them to do with as they pleased.

The man's eyes met mine, they were filled with power and strength though blood gushed from where the nails entered his flesh and the stripes on his back. 

I could hardly stand his gaze, but was too captivated to look away,

his plain brown eyes drew me into his very soul, brushing me against it gently, and in even that brief encounter I knew that this was no ordinary man, that this was the Son of God. 

I found myself unable to breathe, but instead was sustained by his very last breath. 

And as the air whooshed out between his lips, he shouted his last words to be heard by the entire world: "It is finished." 

As the thunder roared, and the earth shook, and the lightning flashed its angry rods, I knew, although he had completed his task here on earth, 

mine had just begun. . . .

Just another friday?

I just remembered that today is Good Friday. It's not that I didn't know that it was coming up, I've been awaiting Easter for some time now. But it just hit home. 

Today, Satan had a victory. 

Today, our Saviors friends and followers fled from his side. 

Today, death held all in fear. 

Today, a cross was raised and lowered like the flag of a knight who has died on the battle ground. 

Today. . . today. . . Satan met his defeat, for though he was chasing his opponent in a fast retreat, he had misjudged the direction in which they were going. For they were not running out of fear, but out of courage, to double back and return with an army more than double that of the Evil One. 

Today. . . though today, the disciples flee, in three days, they will stand strong, and will be a light unto all the world, preaching and teaching fearlessly. 

Today, although death held its held its reign, its reign would soon come to and end for all those who believe.

Today. . . . What an awesome day!!! :)

Assr lei∂r ykkarr brand.
