Wordless Book Easter Project
by Ronald A. Rowe April 6th, 2010 | Easter
To believers in Jesus Christ, Easter should be the most exciting and joyous holiday of the year. Easter is when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and His total victory over death, instead we get Easter Bunnies and plastic eggs.
This year I thought we’d try to re-insert the deeper meaning of Easter into the cultural celebration. I took the original Easter story and mixed it into the 21st century Easter festivities and sprinkled in a little visual aid invented by Charles Spurgeon in 1866. The result is a simple, inexpensive project that is fun and inspirational.

Healthy Easter Egg Hunts
by Bea April 1st, 2010 | Easter
Now that Valentine's Day is over and St. Patrick's Day as well, Easter decorations are in full bloom. Not that the candy did not already start sprouting up in the local CVS stores or Walmarts at the beginning of March or anything, but the green decorations are gone and now you can focus purely on the pastels.
However, the best thing you could do for your kids when they're going on their egg hunts is to try to stay away from those pastel colored bags in the stores. All of those Hershey eggs, Reese's eggs, and chocolate bunnies, are delicious

Easter Bread
by Jane Wangersky March 30th, 2010 | Easter, Recipe
Easter bread is a holiday tradition in the Slavic countries – one I’ve tried to adopt over the years since my marriage. I say “tried” because the recipes, no matter how dumbed down for modern bakers, were usually too much for me. Finally, I came up with my own version. If you’re not too conscientious, you can call it “kulich” or “babka”, but it’s based on The Joy of Cooking’s Brioche Loaf Cockaigne. Please don’t tell anyone.
