Easter pm and Leeland

Well it's been a marvelous Easter. Beautiful weather, worship, and fellowship!

How good is the new Leeland CD. So many songs have such pleasant melody hooks that it's a delight to listen to. I love the song 'Brighter Days'. Leeland's voice reminds me of the Beatles via Phil Keaggy (that's going way back for some of you) with a bit of Coldplay thrown in. Usually the second cd release never lives up to the level of the first. This one is really good. 'The opposite way' - simple yet profound. Got it playing right now.

Easter Week

This is a great week to do some things different. Here are some things I like to do and some suggestions to make this a spiritually nourishing season.

1) Go to a good Friday service. It's the day to remember Christ death.
2) Fast.
3) Do the stations of the cross as a meditative prayer walk.
4) Journal
5) Re-read the crucification accounts in the gospels.
6) Watch the sunrise Easter morning.
7) Recommit your life in faith to your resurrected Lord & Savior - Jesus Christ.
8) Practice the presence of Christ with awareness worship.

Hear the Screams

Here are the lyrics for all those who are asking. The song was taken from the passages of Jesus on the cross where it says that he 'cried out in a loud voice'.


You took a walk down a lonely street, the crowds pressed in.
You made them from the dust of the earth, and they threw it your face.

(Pre-Chorus) Can you see the tears rolling down? I put them there.
Can you see the red rolling down? I was there.

You were silent yet accused, beaten of Your beauty.
Your bore a cross for the souls of the earth, and they nailed you to it.

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus) And I...... Can still hear the screams of Your love for me. (2x)

No greater love has ever been shown.
No greater love has ever been known.
Now I hear the love in Your voice.

Repeat Pre-Chorus, Chorus 4x
