I’ve been having a problem with my youngest son lately. He isn’t reading all the emails he should be reading. In fact, we almost missed paying some fees he had due for college, which could have made him miss some deadlines for school. You see, Nate’s a busy college student.

In addition to the normal celebration of Jesus’ resurrection, I love the energy that Easter brings to a church. That energy, if channeled correctly, can fuel a church beyond one day per year. The problem I see with many churches, however, is that they stop the work put into the Easter services a few days too early.
