Happy Easter Everyone......

Today is Easter Sunday, one of the most sacred days in the Christian Religion and a very happy day for children of all ages.


When I was just a wee little lad, I remember getting up early on Easter morning to search the whole house for the colored eggs that the Easter Bunny hid the night before. Later in the morning we would all get dressed up in our finest and go to church. After church would be a wonderful meal of ham and all the trimmings. This was a special time since ham was too expensive for a regular menu item.


We would all sit around the table and Dad would say a prayer, thanking God for his past gifts and reflecting on a new beginning, the underlying theme of Easter.


How the world has changed since the innocent days of my youth.


The world still celebrates Easter, but in this country it has become more commercial than religious. And then there are those like Annie Lorie Gaylor and the Madison based Freedom from Religion Foundation that is trying to ban every religious symbol or expression in our everyday lives.


Easter is a new beginning. A time when the warm rays of the sun give new life to the dormant earth.


Regardless of your religion or your belief system, I would like to wish everyone (including you, Annie Lorie Gaylor) a very Happy and blessed Easter.



Celebrate Easter and a new beginning.



Happy Easter to you..........
