Dr. Seamands tells of a Muslim who became a Christian in Africa.

“Some of his friends asked him, ‘Why have you become a Christian?”

He answered, “Well, its like this. Suppose you were going down the road and suddenly the road forked in two directions, and you didn’t know which way to go, and there at the fork in the road were two men, one dead and one alive — which one would you ask which way to go?”

Of course, Easter is when we celebrate the fact that Christ is alive.  Come join me for the 11th Annual Easter Sunrise Service at the Reynolds Plantation Pavilion at 7 a.m. or at 9 a.m. at the Reynolds Lake Club or for a fun, informal Easter Sunday with your family at 9:30 a.m. at the Lake Welcome Center for fun activites for the kids followed by a service at 10:30 a.m.  Therer are lots of Easter options. Hope you can join me.  Wishing you much love and much light.
