Why do we celebrate Easter?

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!

I had totally forgotten I actually had a Blog! It has been soooooo long since I posted. WOW it's pretty amazing I actually forgot! well, I guess they are blonde-ish side effects! HAHA!
Well, Life has been pretty good, can't complain because despite life's trials, God is Great!

Picture day at school was pretty Chaotic though! But it was fun, I enjoyed it! Although I don't think I made the most out of my time in Literature class because I was being distracted by Seniors who had nothing to do but bother people in class! But it was fun anyway!

-why are children being decieved?

I hope you all had a blessed fiest of first fruits, the day when Jesus rose from the dead as the frist fruits from the dead. I know most people call it Easter but that's because most people don't realize what that means. The word Easter itself derives from the name of the pagan goddess of fertility, Ishtar (many of you CCI-ers know that, I hope!). Easter is meant as a celebration to this goddess, thus the symbol of the bunnies and eggs -fertility! Ok, so why do we celebrate "Easter"? Most Christians "believe" they are doing it because Jesus rose from the dead. But what does a pagan goddess of fertility have to do with Jesus' resurrection? Nothing, so the question arises again, "Why do we celebrate Easter"? who knows... Ask your pastor! Many people are ignorant of the fact that Easter is a pagan holiday and yet their pastors don't do anything about it and far worse: they encourage this celebration??? What is going on in our churches guys? What is worst of this whole pagan tradition is that it was infiltrated because the "Christians" allowed it, several years ago. If you all don't believe, do some research, there is lots of stuff out there in cyber space to help us realize what really is going on with this tradition!

By the way, its basically the same story with "christmas." Does anyone really know what's behind that tradition?

As my Daddy would say, "Kill the Easter Bunny"!! That's what we need to do, is kill this pagan celebration and ban it from our hearts and minds -and church. We only need to celebrate Jesus' ressurection without blurring it behind "Cute Bunnies" and "Easter Eegs."

Have a very Blessed week and "Let no man decieve you by any means..." -2 Thesalonians 2:3

God Bless You All!

     It is a troubling realization when we finally see that our deepest desires aren't always pure and our intentions aren't always the best. It is often too easy to sink in to the ways of the world. Why? Because we live in it and its currents tend to tug at our faith. It is so difficult for me to admit how imperfect I am. I like to think I can do anything, though in reality, I know I am utterly powerless. It's only human nature, I suppose, but it serves me nothing to pretend like I know everything.      All this to say that this spring semester has left me utterly tired and worn out. I have studied and worked my energy out and toward the last couple of weeks before finals, my personal devotions that I've always been so fond of, diminished quickly. I became tired and at times, hopelessly unwilling to spend time in the Word and in prayer. Part of me felt angry toward myself about it, but the other part remained foolishly apathetic. I didn't know what to do, so I di

MISSIONS

Today is my lil brother's birthday... but we celebrated his party on saturday! I will post some pictures later because this computer won't allow me to. And my cousin, a little girl, was born today at 1:00 am. Tomorrow my aunt Mary and I are leaving for Yospi, a place up in the mountains, deep in the heart of Queretaro where the Ottomi Indians live... They are very poor people but very hospitable. My aunt lived amongst them for 2 and a half years. She was there as a missionary. She had to live like them and dress like them in order for the people to accept her. Since then they have come to know God better and there are now several Christians there and a church is up and running. God has blessed them so much and we still keep in touch with them. This week we want to go to encourage them to keep pressing on in the things of the Lord. And encourage them not to give up... because it is very difficult for them. Most of the people do not have a means of transportation although there i

Culiacan, first week

This past week in Culiacan has been a great blessing. The first two days we spent a whole lot traveling to be able to get to a camp and that was exhausting! Then on Wednesday I was able to speak to several girls and pray for the people. It was a nice time in the Lord. God blessed the people and the team also. On thursday I stayed behind to pray and God really just used me and all the other 4 who stayed. He spoke to us through verses and visions. The great thing is that While I was reading in Exodus I think, about how God promises to send his angle before us, when the teams got back they told us they had seen a cloud in shape of an angel and they took a picture but whoever took it did not want to let me download it... but if I can get her to let me, I will next week. Then on Friday, two teams got together, mine and another and we had already gotten into the camp, but after a while, the owner arrived and kicked us out. So we left as quickly as we could so we could get started on another
