Your Son,

I had always known that I was born on a Saturday, but last week I began wondering whether or not I was born on the Saturday before Easter, and what challenges that might have cause Dad and Mom–since they were always super busy getting ready for Easter. As it turns out, I was indeed born between Good Friday and Easter. Dad didn’t remember when I mentioned it to him, but it must haave made for a busy time.

Janie, of course, helped sing and lead worship Easter Sunday. And having Janie’s parents in town was good, as we put them to work with Sunday School and other duties.
