Easter-Wester and Resurrection

I A few hours after April 9th began My puppies yelping woke me, helping Me be thankful for this holiday - Easter day! Better yet: Resurrection Day For Easter was pagan, named for Oestre A Persian goddess (?) Yet Persia had early Christ-ians galore In earlier daylight the further East we are I'm grateful for my Family, a Friend in Africa, And all of America (a Maryland lake, Artemesia) And my kids' friend called Grandma Aurelia As I celebrate the Resurrection hopes "Old" writer-college friends Grady Dorset, Jim Link ... Gone too soon, Jim being missed in Greenbelt A town begun by the Roosevelts (Elanor had graced it) But God, Creator Love, gave us this idea: Eternal Spring with Thy Maker - Jesus, for me - resurrection : death and life in perfect intimacy I'm so glad Nelson Mandela forgave - Jesus then became real for me II I sent out Resurrection Day messages, pics Already in these wee hours. I bless you all Shalom shalom in the Prince of Shalom Yeshua haMeshiach: "Hope of Israel"
