"The meaning of Easter is Jesus Christ's victory over death. His resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him. The meaning of Easter also symbolizes the complete verification of all that Jesus preached and taught during His three-year ministry.
If He had not risen from the dead, if He had merely died and not been resurrected, He would have been considered just another teacher or Rabbi. However, His resurrection changed all that and gave final and irrefutable proof that He was really the Son of God and that He had conquered death once and for all.
Today, the meaning of Easter, for million of Christians, is that of honoring and recognizing Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, and His glorious promises of eternal life for all who believe in Him."

As time has gone by it has been apparent that everyone has struggles in their lives. TJ & I have had some struggles; however we have come through (there may be more to come but we are ready to face them!) My family has also been going through some troubles due to an economic struggle.
As my father stated, "Let's all just get through the next week. Easter is like a new beginning." This is true :)
Resurrection:
1) The act of rising from the dead or returning to life.
2) The state of one who has returned to life.
3) The act of bringing back to practice, notice, or use; revival.
As we go through this time of celebration let us all recognize the true meaning of life and how thankful we should all be to be able to breathe air, eat healthy foods, and love as we do. Easter is truly a time for celebrating our Christ Jesus and that is what I will do. I will be surrounded by love from family and our Christ Jesus.
Unfortunately after moving to Sioux Falls I not been going to church. It has been difficult to start going to a new church after being so used to 'my' church. I have made a vow to start going to church again with a friend from work. I know this will make me feel like a better person and I know I will be doing the right thing.
