HE IS RISEN

Especially during this Easter season, our thoughts turn to the  Savior and  what He has done for  the whole of mankind.  The magnitude of His suffering is overwhelming to our finite understanding, but we KNOW that His Resurrection and Atoning Sacrifice will, through our personal obedience and constant repentance, allow us to enjoy the Father’s greatest gift—eternal life with Him and His Son.

Not to distract from Craig's lovely message above, but on a somewhat related note, I am going to add some pictures.  I am smitten with the cemeteries here, and often take an unappreciated-by-Craig quick detour when I see one.  I'm not sure if it's the sizes, number, or time period of the graves (since this area was inhabited so much earlier than the West) or just the variety that intrigues me.  Here are a few of my favs:

I love the little personal chapel/mausoleums here and there.

This appears so old that trees have grown up around the graves...

These hedges between the rows makes each grave area so private!
This was taken yesterday - some trees are in bloom and are so beautiful!
