happy easter!

so, the easter egg hunt was a fantastic success. i'll post some pics when i get home. i scared an actual bunny from it's nest while hiding eggs...or should i say the bunny scared me? 'cause yeah...i screamed like a little scaredy-girl.

in church today i thought about the gift of salvation in a way that i haven't in a long time. it's tragic but the concept of salvation and the sacrifice of jesus can be sort of matter-of-fact for me. my mind was wandering in church this morning and i was thinking about how shocking and strange and beautiful it is that god would become flesh and make his dwelling among us. god was here. on earth. to save people. when i really allow myself to think about it i'm overwhelmed by the magnitude of that idea. it kind of scares me a little that god would love humanity that much. that much passion and dedication from a holy god is more than i can take in...so i just don't think about it very often. sad but true. when i really dwell on it i marvel that i have been adopted into the family of god [a metaphor that i really, really love btw] and that god calls me daughter. so cool. so scary. so humbling.

so, just some random thoughts during church. happy easter friends...or should i say resurrection sunday? :) hehehe
