Easter 2018

EASTER 2018 For twenty years I celebrated Easter In various parts of the world In the footsteps of the Apostle Paul In Turkey where he once walked I celebrated Easter in Saigon While serving in Vietnam I celebrated Easter in Texas Oklahoma, California, and New Jersey On Waikiki Beach three years And at Epworth by the Sea I've been in some interesting places Where The Resurrection was recognized But this year 2018 was the most meaningful I was at home on Georgia soil At home where my roots are Perhaps never to leave home again I don't know where I'll celebrate in 2019 Maybe Christ will call me Home by then And I'll celebrate it with Him And every Easter thereafter in eternity But 'til that day arrives for me I'll just have to be content To know that Easter 2018 Was the best Easter I ever spent 16 April 2018 For the contest sponsored by Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer

Thanks, Artsie, for your support, encouragement, and thanking me for my service. It afforded me world travel that otherwise would have bypassed a Georgia country boy.

Thank you, Susan. The service to my country was not initially intended to last more than 4 years. I am proud that it lasted for 20. It gave me the opportunity to see places I never would have been able to visit otherwise, as well as defend the freedom of America. Thank you so much for 'thanking' me.

Eve, ditto what I said to Line. You are always there to inspire and encourage me just as she is. It is much appreciated.

Line, I appreciate the fact that I can count on a certain number of people to send congratulatory remarks to me. I am remiss in showing the same courtesy in many cases. You are always among that 'certain' number regardless of my failure to do likewise. Thanks for your support.

Yes, Joyce, I did and it feels good to celebrate at home. There's an old saying, "Ain't no place like home"! How sweet it is. Thank you for your kind comment.

First, I thank you for your service, Curtis. Nicely written. I'd have to conclude you've been in many places. ;) It seems so many of us return 'home' sooner or later. I've strayed from home but never for long. The best of luck in the contest. :) ~ Artsie

Thanks, Line! It truly was a fabulous world tour --- compliments of the U.S. Air Force. I spent 20 years in the Air Force and had the great opportunity to see places I never would have seen otherwise. I do truly appreciate your invaluable support.
