If you didn't see the thank you from Resthaven in Thursday's edition of the Reporter-Herald let me pass it on to you. Pat and her crew at the funeral home were overwhelmed by your participation in assembling and installing the luminaries. At first it appeared the weather was going to shut us down. We all retreated into the church for worship thinking even though we gave it our best shot, we had failed. Hopefully, you experienced the same surprise I did when I walked out of the church building after our Easter celebration that evening. Instead of the dark, empty cemetery I expected to see I discoverd a pure, snowy night lit up with thousands of beacons of hope. What a cool picture of Easter! I hope your Easter was as blessed as my family's was. Thank you for helping us love our community and at the same time let God's glory shine through our faith community.Friday, March 28, 2008
