The Son of God
The Bunny
As I’m out for the day celebrating Easter, I thought I would post up an Open Thread for everyone to use in the event you need to chat/rant/inform/have fun. And remember, if you include a link in your comment, please use Tiny URL to convert it to tinyness.
For your reading pleasure on this very important day, our friend LaShawn Barber shares, “He is not here; He has risen.”
And to finish our Easter post, here is Instapundit with Instabunny. Glenn seems to have an inside track with the Bunny. Who says bloggers aren’t connected? Happy Easter and have a great day!

Thank you Tammy for posting that beautiful photo of “The Son of God”! It reminds me of what Easter is really all about.
Happy Easter to you Tammy. God Bless You because you are a wonderful person who does so much good, more than you will ever know. You are a gift to so many and you make a difference. Peace to you and to all those who are dear to you. God Bless :)
It’s me again. LaShawns article was very good. I believe we who believe need to have the trust and faith like a childs. Keep it very simple. When we try to analyze everything to satisfy our human reasoning or curiousity and feel we need to know it all and why it is and how it happens then our egos take over and our faith dwindles. Blessed is he who believes without seeing. May this day help us all grow in faith and love.
To Carpediem,
Those are two very well written and thoughtful posts, and of both of them I couldn’t agree more!
Thanks for stating it all so well!

The article Tammy linked to brings to mind one of the crucial differences between Christianity and Judaism. The Christians note that Man is inherently imperfect and therefore can only achieve salvation through grace. The Christian God, once accepted, can and will forgive all sins. To the Jews, God only has the power to forgive sins committed against Him. If you sinned against another person, don’t look to God for forgiveness. You must right the wrong and seek forgiveness from the injured party. Thus, certain sins — such as murder — are beyond forgiveness, since the wrong cannot be righted. If the atonement is sincere and the wrong has been righted, the injured party is eventually expected to forgive. A summary might be that the Christian God judges your heart and the Jewish God judges your deeds.
Also, tax day is Monday! Now that so many of us are filing electronically, I guess we’re less likely to encounter tax protesters at the Post Office as midnight draws near. Who remembers that Lady Godiva was in fact a tax protester? I’ve sometimes heard rumors of naked women riding horses showing up at the Post Office rush, but I’m not sure it’s ever really happened. Maybe this year…?
LaShawn’s summary is lovingly written and beautiful in it’s absolute Truth. It was a pleasure to read.
Horse, a person’s “heart” (mind) and actions are inseparable. As a man thinks, so he is.
I believe your theory more closely follows the Bill Clinton compartmentalization model.
Meanwhile, the California Senate is hard at work on SB 1437, which will, among other things, require the Kindergarten curriculum to tell children about positive contributions to society made by transgender Americans. Here’s the current draft.
Talkin Horse,
You’re real sincere about asking forgiveness from the guy you killed, God’s more than able to get the two of you together. ‘Course it’s gonna require your death, but you can’t have everything. :)
(How would you feel if you learned that the man you killed is in Hell because he refuses to forgive you?)
Thank you Mark , for the kind words :)
