Happy Easter!

GoofyI’m not sure that the image on the left really has anything to do with Easter (as a matter of fact, I’m about 110% sure it doesn’t!) but it’s a picture I like and since I’m the author here, I get to choose.  ;-)   Don’t get me going about pictures (see previous post) and we’ll all be happier!

I didn’t get to spend today with Sarah, Isabelle and Violet which was definitely a bummer because from what I hear, they had quite the time at Sarah’s parents’ house, surrounded by family.  I can’t really complain, though, as I’ve had pretty much every other holiday off since I’ve been working on the north slope.  Speaking of work and Easter, I find it odd that Easter is seldom a paid holiday whereas Christmas is.  If you think about what each means, and I was talking to a coworker today about this, they’re definitely similar yet one is very seldom a “paid holiday” whereas the other one nearly always is.  Just kind of odd, if you ask me (which you did, because you’re reading this).

For me, Easter is the reason we have the chance for eternal life.  To live in Heaven with God.  Jesus was resurrected after dieing and, because of that, God grants those of us who believe in Him eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven.

I’m curious to hear what Easter means to anyone else who reads this.
