In so many ways, our lives are blessed. We are blessed to live in a free nation with so many comforts of today's world. But without the blessing and love of our Savior, it would all be for nothing. In our town, we have a preserved mound that gives us our name. Every Easter, they put up the crosses and hold a sunrise service on Easter to celebrate the Risen Lord.
On Friday, we went as a family to remember the day that Jesus died for the sins of all of those that believe in Him. It's great to see the little minds of our daughters putting together all the pieces of the story. They got excited for our trip up the mound and knew all the details of that day nearly 2000 years ago. While looking some little known pieces of detail about the crucifixion , I found the following discussion in a number of places about the others that were crucified with Christ.
As this was our first trip up the mound, the view from there is quite amazing to take in, being able to see all the way to downtown Dallas. There are countless numbers of people who drive by this historic mound every day, and how awesome it is that our town continues to remember our Lord and Savior during the Easter season!
