Day NINETY-ONE of Presidential recovery.

John 11:25–26

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

John 20:1-18

The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

      Limas aren’t my favorite – too gritty. Pineapple Upside Down cake is widely loved!

      Good day, Czarina! May YES be the answer for those contemplating following Christ this Easter!

      YES to lima beans, cheddar fries and volunteers…and MAYBE to looking alike.

      A resounding YES to this delicious-looking version of the pineapple upside down cake…so much easier to cut…

      NO to marijuana which causes psychosis in many ignorant proponents of daily recreational misuse….

      Elevated Dopamine in Cannabis Users May Explain Psychosis Risk

      Posted April 9, 2025

      Summary: New research reveals that people with cannabis use disorder (CUD) have elevated dopamine levels in a brain region associated with psychosis, such as schizophrenia. This may help explain why frequent cannabis use can increase the risk of hallucinations and delusions.

      Easter. First thing this morning at Sunrise. Cowboy coffee and hot cross buns as promised, Tex. No ill effects, although I modified the cowboy coffee, still going to try the “real” version.

      Yes to volunteers.. Many organizations depend on them.

      Haven’t eaten Pineapple Upside Down cake in ages. Not saying I wouldn’t after seeing Lucille’s photo of a Bundt pan version.

      Indulged in some Cheesy Potato Casserole today. Does that count?

      I was once told that I looked very much like someone else in the area. The doppelganger effect, in that I was called by that person’s name, too. Would much rather simply dress like someone else.

      Lima beans, yes to fresh and frozen upon occasion, but no to canned lima beans and succotash.

    Good mornin’, and Happy Easter. I wanted to make sure we had a coffee maker befitting of the day. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee. Easter eggs shortly!

    Our Favorite Sunday Columnist has some thoughts on the press, the democrats, and the courts……….which seem to pretty much be all of the same cut of cloth. Clarice was a high-flying lawyer who worked on some major stuff not that long ago, so when she talks about legal things, we should all pay attention.

    Afternoon All. Just got back a little while ago from the really beautiful Easter Sunday service and the dinner after. The kids had an Easter egg hunt.

    During the service my year old grandson was (mostly) sitting in his mother’s lap. He is just a perpetual motion machine. She is so patient with him though. It was funny though, that he sat pretty still on his father’s lap. But, that is pretty standard for moms and dads, I guess.

    Hope you all have a Happy Easter Sunday.
