Easter!

Happy Easter! I don't have much to write about, so I'll do some verses, instead.
By the Way, Noah's arm is doing okay. Dr. Griffin said that he can't take the cast off ( same reason: the bone will break again), and we have another appointment next Monday. Still itchy, and sore. But tonight, I found out how Mom has that boy take a bath: wrap his arm/cast in saran wrap! Interesting, but it works.
We went to church today, and had a wonderful brunch( I managed to choke down two small spoonfuls of hash browns, ( Mom made me) and gobbled down a very small piece of chocolate cake,( that Mom didn't see) and a chocolate chip muffin). And then the kids 6th grade and younger had an Easter Egg Hunt. The older kids( 7th and up...what Mr. Plott calls " youth") hid them. Or " threw" them around the playground. The pastor's son, Hunter, and his friend were throwing them around the playground, according to Catharine, the pastor's other daughter, ( he has 13 year old Hunter, 10yr old Bradley ( my friend), and then 6 yr old Catharine.)... :) Pretty easy to find those ones.
Here are the verses:

John 19: 28-30
" After this ( telling John to take his mother into his home), Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, " I thirst"( other versions say " I am thirsty"). Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said , " It is finished." And bowing His head He gave up His spirit. "

John 20:1-18
" On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved( John), and said to them, ' They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him'. Peter, therefore, went out and the other disciple and were going to the tomb. So they both ran, together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief, that had been around His head, not lying with the other cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first went in also, and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went away to their own homes. But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her,' Woman, why are you weeping? ' She said to them, ' Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have lain Him.' Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you seeking?', supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, ' Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him and I will take Him away.' Jesus said to her, ' Mary!' She turned and said to Him , ' Rabboni!'( which is to say " Teacher"). Jesus said to her, 'Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father, but go to My brethren and say to them, ' I am ascending to My Father, and your Father, and to My God, and to your God.' Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her. "

I'll do more this next week. BTW, Noah and I each got a Webkinz today, as Easter gifts( from Mom and Dad NOT the Easter Bunny...don't believe in that.). I got a giraffe, and Noah got an donkey. I thought that was a perfect thing to get, ( it was only $12.99, according to Mom), but Jesus rode on a donkey, and a donkey means " peace". He could have rode anything, and cow, horse, pony, but He chose a donkey,because it means " peace".
