Easter
April 20, 2014
What an amazing gift to have celebrated, in Uganda, the resurrection of our Lord! I could never adequately give words to the experiences of this day, except to say, IF you have ever been here in Uganda, you know exactly what I’m unable to articulate.
The rain showers came just before daybreak. However, no amount of storms could hold back the various expressions of worship this morning! We had quite a cultural experience which included amazing voices lifted to the heavens, grand displays of African dance, a drama reminding us of the ultimate love----spoken prayer in 2 languages and ALL to the same God! From the larger established church with many bells and whistles, to the grass church in the bush, this Easter morning was one we will never forget.
No Easter eggs, no chocolate bunnies or peeps desired; only expressions of gratitude for the love of a Savior. Oh how our western Easter experiences are diluted by a bunny who lays eggs.
