Happy Easter! I
hope you took some time today to look past the bunnies and eggs and remember
that our Savior lives!
He
is not here, for he has risen,
as he said.
Matthew
28:6
I had an eventful Easter Sunday. I started the day with a 4am alarm. I jumped out of bed, excited to attend my very
first sunrise service. It took place at
El Morro fort in San Juan. The sunrise
was mediocre, but the service was a blessing.
As I stood singing familiar praise songs, I realized how wonderful it
was to attend an English service on Easter.
Then, I made a quick stop home to change out of my
rain-soaked clothes and eat a delicious breakfast prepared by my dear friends
Brendan and Rebekah (the people with whom I tagged along to the sunrise
service). We had bacon, eggs, and
pancakes—which until that moment I hadn’t realized that I was missing (that is
Calvary Baptist Church’s standard Easter breakfast—of which I have only missed
a few in 25 years). So my Easter tradition
was carried on in a slightly different way.
Then I went to my church where I watched a delightful
Easter musical and received a passionate sermon. Each time I hear my pastor speak, I love him
even more.
Next stop—home again, where I unsuccessfully attempted a
quick nap. Then I got dressed and ready
for a 5k Color Run with Alyssa. I didn’t
think I had it in me to run after such a long morning, but I was wrong. We drove back to San Juan for this
long-awaited race.
It was the most fun race I’ve ever done. The energy was high, and I guess my body rose
to the occasion. I wound up getting my
best time yet—and looking good in the process!
After an extra-long shower, I’m still a little stained, but it was
completely worth it.

hope you also had a chance to make some memories today!
