There's so much to say about Easter - in it's most unfiltered pure form it's the day of our risen Lord, Jesus, the day on which his victor
y transformed God's relationship with man...forever. Easter has become such a celebration of pastel-colored eggs and fabricated fluffy bunnies, and for what? Sure it's fun dying and hunting eggs, 
and we had a great time, but what is that really all about? I am not sure when our culture chose to transform the most important day of Christianity into another sales gimmick, but I do know this, as we continue to grow as a family, we definitely want to make Christ the forefront of our Easter celebrations. It doesn't mean we will be kneeling at an alter for 24 hours on Easter or wearing pretty pink sui
ts with matching hats - it means that we will FIRST honor our Lord, and then enjoy what He has given us with the people we love most. It should be a day to celebrate the freedom Christ has given us through his death, burial and resurrection - Lord, let the Brown's make you proud!
