i heart bowling

In the last few weeks, I have had the privilege of bowling twice...after a loooooong hiatus. The first occasion was at the home of Mark and Karin Stroessler, where we did Wii bowling. Um, fantastic. Can't wait to do it again. And then, we went to actual bowling lanes last weekend with some friends (mamas from play group and their husbands...thanks for the photo, Meg!). We had a great time. My first game would have made my Oak Lanes coaches from Huntington cry. I didn't even break 100. But I redeemed myself a bit in the 2nd game with something like a 160. This one's for you, Coaches Bill and Steve.

Jesus is alive, guys!

So, Easter was definitely a few weeks ago, but I am just now finding the time to share about our celebration. We had an incredible weekend with our friends here as we anticipated Sunday morning. We loved being at Jason and Jenny Ballard's place all night Saturday as we held a prayer vigil. And Sunday morning was an awesome celebration, complete with mimosas! Mercy understood things a lot better this year. In the days preceding Easter, she would randomly say, "Jesus is alive, guys!" Indeed, Mercy, He is. And on Sunday morning, during our sunrise service, Mercy exclaimed as the sun started to rise, "Jesus is coming!" (Well, she actually said, "Jesus is tumming," but close enough.) Amen, sister.
