Newspaper Page TextPAGE 14, APRIL 13, 2009, THE ISLANDER News from Local Churches From The Church Bulletins l^eto dSetos Snow. Large flake, blowing in the wind SNOW! In April! We came to the mountains to be with the grandones for a few days and God just can't seem to stop with the weather surprises. We drove in a circle from Helen to Hiawas- see (lunch at my favorite Michaellee's) and then by Vogel State Park - past the closed road to Brasstown Bald - awed by the beauty of snow covered trees and woods at the tops of the moun tains. We serve an awesome God! Easter Sunday will be a beautiful feast for our eyes as churches are filled with flowers given "In Memory Of' or "In Honor Of' special people in our lives. The music will lift our hearts in praise to our risen Savior. We often wear new clothes on Easter Sunday - not just to have something new - but to declare the new life we have in Jesus. The challenge for each of us is to celebrate that new life each and every day - not just on Easter. Don't be a CEO Christian - going to church on Christmas and Easter Only - but resolve anew to support the church of your choice every Sunday.

As we drove to the mountains we enjoyed another Spring as the dog wood and azaleas are just opening and we hope the cold hasn't hurt them. Our crabapple tree is in full bloom. We will have a late birthday dinner for Piper, Galen and Will Riley tonight and tomorrow we all board the Blue Ridge Train for a scenic ride through the mountains as icing on their cake! Liv ing so many miles apart causes us to miss so many special times with them but my precious memories of summers and time spent with my grandparents are what keep me pushing to create happy times for my grandones. It is all about FAMILY. Happy Spring to Emily, Piper, Avery, Will Riley and Galen! I can hardly wait for the lazy, hazy days of summer on the beach or in the mountains.
