I missed my family, a lot
I have spent every Easter of my life with my family, including the previous 8 years I have been in Austin. It’s one of the few times I get to see a couple of my favorite cousins, and one of 3 times I get to see all of one side of my family. It was hard not to be with them today. What made it even harder was this being the first Easter without my grandpa Downey. Easter plays a large part in my memories of him and it was tough today without him around.
I love my church family
However, I was able to spend Sunday with most of my closest friends in Austin. There were a few folks missing (miss you guys!) but it was great to have the whole gang there. It was even better to see some relatively new faces come around. It’s great to see our group grow and change.
We can never sin too much for His grace
Matt Carter’s sermone was great and he is right, we can never run to far from God’s grace. If we doubt that grace can cover our sins then we are doubting the power of the cross.
I am not worthy of His grace, yet He gave it
This truth is the most basic we have, and yet the hardest to let sink into our hearts. I pray that the Lord continues to drive it home for me.
Amazing Easter service at the Stone
To see 10,000 people worshipping our King and Savior was a great sight. To know it was one faithful church body was even better. It was great to see our whole church under one roof and in one service. It was also impressive to see the results of the food drive. It was a simple way to make a big impact. I’ve posted a news story on the topic is at the bottom of the post
