Happy Easter!

This is coming a couple of days late, but as my sixth-grade Sunday school teacher would say, "Happy Resurrection Day!" This year, I've been reminded of just how important this holiday is for us as Christians. Christmas, also a good holiday, celebrates the birth of the One we worship, but most of the other religions on this planet have days they can celebrate the birth of their respective gods. Christianity is the only religion that can celebrate the death and resurrection of the One who came to save us. It is because of this key event in history that we can have eternal life. Hallelujah! He is risen!

The Gwynne family had quite the eventful Easter weekend. In addition to remembering the death of Christ and celebrating His resurrection, we hosted my college roommate Steph for the extended weekend. Below are a few pics from the last few days.

Last year, Dave, Julie V., and I discovered a cute crepe restaurant in Lincoln Park. We made sure to stop there for some sweet treats when we went to the city.
