WHEN EASTER REALLY HITS HOME
This week I lost a good friend who will be celebrating Easter with Jesus this year. You can read my tribute to Dan Rase on my blog. He was a good friend of Kidology as well. He and his wife (and daughter) have been to many Kidology conferences, he has served on the Kidology CP Team, and just two weeks ago joined the Kidology Gathering at CPC in San Diego. He will be missed by many in children's ministry who were fortunate enough to have met him.
Easter is a time when we celebrate Jesus' power over death and the hope He brings because of His victory over the event that will one day claim us all, our own death. It sometimes takes the death of someone close to snap us back to the sobering reality of our own mortality and our need to live for Jesus each and every day as though it might be our last.
Dan celebrated his 43rd birthday last Thursday and now we celebrate that he will no longer need to worry about aging! I hope you have a wonderful Easter this weekend and that you will cherish every moment with your family, friends, and the children you minister to. As one person commented on my blog about Dan, "Earth's loss, Heaven's gain." Let us renew our zeal to share the Good News of the salvation that Jesus offers!
Have a Happy Easter and we hope that many of the items below might be a source of help to you!
Because
Jesus Loves Children,
Karl D. Bastian - a.k.a. "The Kidologist"
