As a kid, Easter always ranked well below Christmas on my favorite holiday list. Christmas had great songs, TV specials, amazing food, and lots of presents. If that wasn't enough, there was all that "good-will" and Christmas cheer!

For a church, a vision is a picture of a better tomorrow we want to see come to pass.

A few weeks ago, passing a pet shop, I notices through the window that they had some baby rabbits.  They were just old enough to have left their mother and at the stage where they were irresistible.  I resisted, but, I remembered the time years ago our daughter, Lesliem couldn't.  It didn't take any time before the rabbit, a black and white dwarf French Lop-ear, became Oreo and a member of our family.  I have to admit, though, we were all taken with this cute bunny and Leslie wanted to take him everywhere.

The writer of Ecclesiastes tells us there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and an time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.  I've been thinking a lot about timing lately.
