Easter becomes an opportunity to imagine God would be present in our lives to roll away the stone from the graves in the darkest recesses of our souls.

There is a sign in Theo & Stacy’s Greek Restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that says, “People who believe the dead never come back to life should be here at quitting time.” Let me tell you an Easter story: A long time ago a Frenchman incurred the displeasure of the emperor Napoleon.

Easter Sunday The Resurrection Of The Lord

Each Playset features full-color, child-safe, action figures that are designed to be paired with its own book which neatly ...read more
