Nearly all recognize
...... Jesus existed as seen in history.
Many want a relationship
...... Jesus was a good man after all.
Many will rejoice
........Easter has been a season of renewal.
Most will accept
..... That Jesus Christ died, because people do.
Many will surmise
....... That Jesus Christ was buried and then
Some are convinced
..... That Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
Some will act
..... Jesus Christ said I am the way the truth the life.
Some will repent
......Jesus Christ calls us to be born again by faith
We acknowledge the resurrection today,
..... but will we live for the Living Christ tomorrow and for the rest of our days?
Faith and repentance go hand in hand in realizing the wonderful gift of salvation.
Christ died for our sins, and He was raised, proving the ultimate sacrifice.
We have hope because salvation is offered to us.
For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.(John 3:16)
WEATHERING THE WEATHER
The leaves were gently falling
One summer in the spring.
Winter is just around the corner
When the meadowlark begins to sing.
The long summer days seem too short.
The winter nights seem dark and long.
The full harvest moon of autumn rising
Sheds gilded light of high noon strong.
A killer October blizzard strikes.
A Chinook brings a January thaw.
Summer heat well over a hundred.
Drought seemingly is the last straw.
Relentless winds from all directions.
Midnight breeze brings pleasant rest.
The lightning brings a prairie fire
Hail and tornados add ire to the test.
Pitter patter of rain upon the roof.
Thunderous roar brings a flood.
Cracks in the ground await a drink
There's now life in the dust turned mud
Weather so extreme upon the prairie.
Extremes on the plains certainly amaze
Dakota weather amuses and confuses.
I will stand In awe through all my days.
