happy easter

it was cool and rainy here this easter, but it was still a great day.this man had a wonderful sermon {as always} this morning about god loving us just the way we are.  i noticed i wasn't the only person with leaky eyes during his lesson.then we had lunch with our friends, the howes and the stewarts, at this yummilicious italian restaurant called napolis.  i could have made a meal just on their bread! {our waiter's name was rocky. giggle}

easter lunch
after lunch i went shopping for all the food for the dinner after church.  i prepared sloppy joes for 80 people.  i was panicking tonight when i saw how many people actually stayed to eat.  i was afraid there wouldn't be enough, but we had just the right amount...only 1/2 of a bun was left over!

we watched the movie fireproof at church tonight.  i had never seen it before.  we are starting a marriage seminar next sunday night, and the elders thought this movie would be a great kick-off for that.  the acting in the movie isn't that great, but the message is POWERFUL.  i was bawling by the end of it.  if you haven't seen it yet, you should.

quote of the day:  Marriage isn't a contract.  It's a covenant. ~from the movie Fireproof

Well, I was sort of afraid to criticize the acting. I agree, Kirk Cameron did a good job with his acting, but most of the rest of the actors were very amateurish (spelling?), however the story was great. I had fun today at lunch! I am glad you came with. I give Napoli's 4 stars (out of 5). I think the food is great, service is ok, the atmosphere was not great, but since it is tasty and affordable, I can overlook it!
