Easter Candy...

Here are some sweet thoughts going into Easter Sunday...

"For our sake he (God) made him (Jesus) to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:21

"but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith." Romans 3:21-25a

Thank you for the cross, Jesus! Thank you for the forgiveness I could not earn! Thank you for the conquered grave I could not defeat! Thank you for saving me!

Trip to Simi Valley

We just got back from our trip to Simi Valley last night. What an unbelievable blessing! I had the opportunity to lead worship this past weekend. I'm so grateful for it. It was so wonderful to lead there again. Also, it was great to see so many friends from the church there.

The weather was slightly better than Ohio. Here are some pictures from our time at Zuma Beach in Malibu.

If any of my friends in Simi visit this: Thank you. I love you all more than you could ever know. How grateful I am that God has granted me to be a part of such a place and such a team. I have learned so much from you and have felt so loved.
