Happy Easter!

Good morning. I would like to wish everyone a great Easter holiday. I will be heading to church in a few hours, but my celebration of Easter actually began April 6 when I had the pleasure of attending the world's largest outdoor Easter Pageant with several members of my family.

The event takes place each year at the Arizona Temple in Mesa, Ariz., and includes a cast of 500 or so, I believe. The cast portrayed the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as told in the King James version of the Holy Bible. Dancers and singers and actors alike did a great job in telling the timeless story.

It was truly a sight to behold.

It's also a comforting reminder that all of those who have gone before me (including Walter) to the other side of this earthly existence into what is known as death, will one day live again. Because of God's grace, not because of anything any of us can or will do on our own, we will all live again.

And what better news is there than that?

Happy Easter!
