April is Here! We can look forward to Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter/Resurrection Sunday. I recall as a young child having to memorize a speech for the Easter Program at my church. Though it took alot of practice (my stuttering further complicated things) it was also a lot of fun and well worth the applause I received, once my speech was recited. I hope many of us are continuing to challenge our children to express their love for Christ’s sacrifice for us, through “Easter Speeches”.
