He Has Risen Indeed!!!

Easter was good, but I am somewhat happy it is over. Like Christmas it just gets too busy around here, we get so preoccupied with programming that it is hard to take time to kick back and reflect. Marina said that in Mongolia Easter is just another day, no one really pays attention. In some ways that would be nice you know, to have no hype and circumstance. I really do love the Good Friday service and Easter Sunday service. My favorite thing to do all year is to greet people with "He has risen indeed!" What can I say I am kinda a Lutheran dork. Anyway the weekend turned out fine. The youth put on Easter Sunday breakfast for the church. Just a continental deal, lots of fruit, buns, colored eggs and such. I know it doesn’t sound like it but that was a lot of work. Some ladies on Sunday were asking us if we were cooking pancakes and such. That would have been a gong show, doable for sure, but what a mess.
Sunday afternoon the Dolsky Clan got together at Granny’s. Good times! It was a little weird at first seems like that side of the family doesn’t really know how to talk to each other. But after supper the coffee and cards came out and we had a grand ol’ time. That’s Dolskys for you; get our bellies full, give us some caffeine and set us around a card table we’ll have a good time with anybody.
I should really get back to work (yes I am working on a Monday, I am not pleased with myself either). I am speaking at a Christian elementary school on Wednesday. I have nothing prepared, but I am feeling led to talk about Who we are in Jesus. How are you supposed to make that applicable and still interesting to young kids? I really just need to sit down and get into it but just can’t seem to get the groove on you know. Maybe I just need to come back tonight at midnight and do it the old fashioned way as an all-nighter. We’ll see how it goes. Anyway kids, that’s me for now. Take it easy.
Peace
