April 22, 2011: Good Friday.
I love Spring, I love Easter, I love Jesus. And I love old hymns and newer songs too. One of my favorites for Good Friday is Ten Thousand Angels by Ray Overholt.
The chorus says it all:
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.

Chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and marshmallow chicks of all colors. My favorites are dark chocolate and spicy jelly beans and just one of those little marshmallow chicks would make my Easter basket complete.
When I was a little girl, all the women and girls got new outfits for Easter Sunday. And I’m not just talking a dress. This was an entire outfit: a new dress, new hat, new shoes and new gloves were purchased just for Easter. To get so many fancy new items of clothing at once was a big deal!
How times have changed…now everyone just buys whatever they want whenever they want…no more special outfits for Easter. Never thought I’d miss that…my mother and I had different ideas about what to wear back then!
