Wow, even though it was cold and windy, it was a pleasant surprise to attend my first outdoor Easter service.  Glad that I bundled up as advised.  The service was held up on a hill with a single white cross.  The road was long and narrow but getting there was half the fun.  The hill was close enough to see the bottom of the mountains where a few cows were grazing.  Too bad the sheeps were not there, the first time in years, as they said, that they were not.   Now I know that from my house, these were the mountains that I can see from my backyard.  There was also a beautiful creek near the road.  The whole view was an awesome sight, a huge farmland with only a single old red barn and nothing else but mountains and the all green grazeland.  The beauty of it all was a sight to see.  How can one not believe that there is a higher power creating this beauty?  I wish I had taken my camera (maybe someday just to go see the sights again).  And then comes the service as the sun was rising.  I was so overwhelmed, from the sermon, to the rising sun, the mountains, the creek, and the vast green land.  I know if Christ did not die, there is no life hereafter.  Happy Easter my dearest Anna, your life will begin anew.
