Benjamin Seeker Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Happy Easter everyone. I thought I’d try to start a meaningful discussion about Easter. What does it mean to you? For me, I realized today that the experience of Christ’s followers and their brief in his resurrection gives me hope for more than just this mortal life. 3

When like me the body is becoming unglued due to old age it REALLY focuses the mind on the resurrection. 2
Popular Post Robert F. Smith Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted April 21, 2019 This Easter Sunday morning was especially interesting in that we had a baby blessing and then three female speakers (one youth and two women). All were brilliant and meaningful sermons. No one seemed to notice that we had no male speaker (except the father of the baby girl who was blessed). Reminds me of the first followers of Christ to show up and find an empty tomb -- women. 7
The Nehor Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I taught Sunday School and almost cried. Spirit strong. Sacrament was amazing. Only downside is everyone was visiting family and the sacrament count was way down. Upside is that this is not the month that goes on the quarterly report And influences funding. 3
Kenngo1969 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I've written several Easter posts on my blog. Inspiration hadn't hit this year, and I didn't think it was going to. Then I thought of a young lady I met on my mission. https://www.greatgourdini.wordpress.com/2019/04/21/lisa-my-teacher/ 2
rockpond Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I got to teach the Easter devotional to a Christian group of elderly folks at an assisted living center near my home. It was a wonderful opportunity and the resurrection takes on special significance when you are with a group of people who are finishing up their mortal years here on earth. 2

Still, I would prefer if there was a bit more pageantry around Easter and Christmas. It's like we try so hard not to be like the Catholics we avoid a lot of what they do well. I think a bigger celebration of the resurrection is not a bad thing. I’ve been to Christmas and Easter Sunday when other than the holiday hymns, you’d never know it was a holy day. Last time that happened there was Much noise in my ward about it. The following holiday was a different story 1
