Ah! Easter time and all is well

Ah!  Easter time and all is well.  Spring and Easter go hand-in-hand in a good way.  And the good thing is that it happens every year, without fail.  All things are new again, ready to begin another cycle of life.

The thing I like about Easter is the hope of a bodily resurrection for all mankind, as promised by certain religions.  This promise seems to ring true, and becomes more poignant as time passes, at least for me it does! 

Getting older seems to deepen the affect on ones sense of life's purpose.  Is there a new life after this one for each of us, as predicted by many prophets?  To me, the hopeful answer is "yes."  

On Easter Day I ended up driving by perhaps the most impressive building in the south end of the valley.  This statue represents Moroni.  He is blowing a herald trumpet, which is used for an official fanfare to announce something important.  Maybe that something has to do with the possibility of a new future life?
  
  • Revelation 14:6

    And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.




























    I guess someday we will all know for sure; so until then, poor ol' grandpa will keep planting his garden each spring, hoping the seeds will grow into great tasting vegetables.  By the way, this is a great photo, right?
