Happy Easter to everyone reading this! Without thinking about the BBQ you're going to, or all the Easter candy you're going to eat, or the eggs you're going to hunt (those little cousins won't get you this year!); why do we really celebrate today? Yes, the family gets together and spring is here; but why? I already know what you're thinking, "it's because Jesus died and rose again." Yeah, you're right. But do you realize how sgnificant that is and how it plays such a huge roll in the life you live today? Your faith, your belief, is based on the death and resurection of Jesus Christ. Without it, we would be so detached from God because of our sins that all we would earn is the punishment of death. Jesus paid the ultimate price for you and for me; death. Because that is what we deserve. But that debt was paid on the cross. And because death could not hold Him, he rose again three days later! This shows us that death cannot hold us either, Jesus conquered it! He went through it so we wouldn't have to. So we wouldn't find ourselves in that real place called hell. What an amazing picture of love! Keep in mind though, this doesn't meen it is an automatic free pass. it is a gift of grace that is freely given. All you have to do is accept it. Asking Christ to come into your life and live through you.So this weekend, take some time to think about why we all get together, why people who haven't been in church for a while suddenly go, why we tend to dress up a little more for church and why we celebrate this Easter holiday.
God bless!

Sorry to be overly critical, but I noticed several typo's including "sgnificant", "resurection", and "meen".
And you're the science teacher...
It might take a while to check the rest of your posts, but I recommend getting a nice spell checker.
Just Kidding. But still...
About those accountant jokes:
```````````````````````````````````
A fellow walks into a hospital and sees two doctors down on their hands and knees in one of the flower beds. He goes over and
says, "Can I help? Have you lost something? "
"No," says one of the doctors. "We're about to do a heart transplant on an accountant and we're looking for a suitable
stone."
```````````````````````````````````
The doctor comes to see his heart transplant patient.
"This is good news. It is very unusual, but we have two donors to choose from for your new heart."
The patient is pleased. He asks, "What were their jobs?"
"One was a teacher and the other was an accountant."
"I'll take the accountant's heart," says the patient. "I want one that hasn't been used."

Q: What's the difference between an accountant and a vampire?
A: A vampire only sucks blood at night.
```````````````````````````````````
How do you drive an accountant completely insane?
Tie him to a chair, stand in front of him and fold a road map the wrong way.
```````````````````````````````````
An accountant is having a hard time sleeping and goes to see his doctor.
"Doctor, I just can't get to sleep at night."
"Have you tried counting sheep?"
"That's the problem - I make a mistake and then spend three hours trying to find it."
HEHE...
Top 10 things not to say to a cop when he pulls you over
I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
Hey, is that a 9mm? That's nothing compared to this 44 magnum.
Hey, you must have been doing 125 to keep up with me, good job.
Sorry officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.
What do you mean have I been drinking? You are the trained specialist.
Wow, you look just like the guy in the picture on my girlfriends night stand.
I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a police officer.
I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes I know there is no other car around, that's how far they are ahead of me.
Is it true that people become cops because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds?
Well, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun fell off of my lap and got lodged between the brake and the gas pedal, forcing me to speed out of control.
Sorry. It did cause me to think of a few things. I guess at first I thought of the site as less serious than it really is. This message isn't meant to suck up, or anything like that, and I really did get a few things from it.
Also, you actually should delete those really long posts. I don't know why I felt the need to post the jokes and stuff here rather than actually tell them to you in real life.
One thing I got from the message that really hit me was that Jesus created us not for his benefit, but for his GLORY and OUR benefit. That just shows us how much he really cares about us.
Also, instead of critiquing your messages, is it ok if I basically post what I got from them?
Sorry to be over-critical of your post Mike. Most of the time I will post stuff that is supposed to fun, but to actually get something out of this blog, I need to post things that cause you to think of your spirtual life. So I'm sorry. And I am thankful that you post, you may be the only one! Later!
Not that it means so much 8 months later, but thanks for bashing my post. It made me realized that if I wouldn't do something in real life, it probably isn't okay to do it online. Thanks!
