Dear Joey, It is so good that you should think today and publish a posting which so truly reflects the meaning of Easter. In today's society which, sadly, is so concerned with material well being, this can so easily be overlooked.

I find the Fredericks' sculpture particularly moving and you have been to such pains to present it in such a way as to make one aware of the pain, the agony, the suffering but, above all, the hope.

Hi, Joey;
Here's an interesting tidbit... when we first moved to Utah we discovered that they do not acknowledge Good Friday. That felt so strange. But, then UT is a pretty odd place. Happy Easter. I'll bet you're cooking up a marvelous meal.
Joey, your images are beautiful

Happy Easter to you and yours
