Now here we are at Easter again. The very basis for our faith, for our lives, is that Jesus Christ paid the payment for our sins by suffering and dying on the cross, was buried in a tomb and resurrected on the third day, then He ascended into Heaven and sits at Father God’s right hand.

Ash Wednesday is also the first day of Lent.

I dug around my mother’s fridge and came up with a container of pimento cheese.
