Easter Day! Yay!

Well well...easter day. It would be weird for me not to mention anything about today. For whereas for people with no beliefs today is nothing special really, i guess for christians, if today didn't exist, there would be no point to our religion! (though i know some who would argue that was the case). So just to kinda let you know what today means for me...

Imagine someone interested in you. Someone who loves you sooo much that they would (and did) die for you. Someone who took the blame for every wrong thing you ever did, and by dying as a punishment for your crimes, enabled you to have eternal life (one biiig party once ur dead) and to live a guilt free life (with purpose). Now even if you don't believe it, hopefully you can see why someone who did (aka me) would have reason to get excited about today! So yeah there you go.

So today i have been to church in the morning, then came back for an easter egg hunt-yes it is true, you never get too old! Then i had a yummy lunch and looooads of chocolate and had tea with my grandparents, before heading off to listen to Katherine, seeing in the chorus of 'Handels Messiah'. Admittedly not my thing, but twas good. Tomorrow i am going to play football-yes actual excercise!!

Thought for the Day: We are swimming in a world of knowledge, yet thristing for a drop of wisdom

As an avowed athiest today is still damn special - we have a reason to eat copious amounts of chocolate without feeling like greedy pigs.

I sense that I have missed the 'true' meaning of Easter here, but if there is a truer meaning than that I'd like to know it. ;)

happy belated easter, tim! don't ask me where my capital letters have gone, i think they may have been eaten by a passing rabbit who mistook them for chocolate. though such things are unusual, they are to be expected.

will catch up at some point, enjoy football! xx
