Our goal in life as Christians is to be as much like Jesus as possible.  I don't care how holy you become, there is one thing you ain't gonna never do.  Arise from the dead!  As I read through these verses this week I just praised Jesus for who He is, what He did and where He is.  Read each verse carefully (great for devotions) and allow God's Word to penetrate

Went fishing last night with the Admiral Mike Durham and Andrew.  We weren't as successful as we've been lately.  The heavy rains, cold nights and full moon slowed down the fishing.  But we hung in there until 2:30 am.  I was cold and ready for a hot shower.  I'll be going back soon.

As Easter Sunday approaches, have you given up?  Are you still seeking someone to bring?  Keep on fishing.  See you Sunday with a friend!
