Easter :D

Easter has never really been a big thing within my family. But starting last year, it's been something that has become significant in my Christian life. Around 2 - 3 years ago I joined my local Youth Group with my best friend (and as of the past 2 months I have found 2 Nerdfighters at my Youth Group. We rock) and after my first year there I went to the Easter Camp. EASTER CAMP WAS AMAZING. So amazing that I'm going this year too :3 But yeah, Easter Camp was the place where I first found God. And he's been with me ever since.

So yeah.. Easter has never really been a big thing for us. My mum will try to get my brothers and I into it, you know, with the whole Lent thing. And we all know about the four days. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. But I guess for my brothers (and what was me) Easter for us was chocolate. The whole commercial side of it... I can remember in Easter Sunday, our parents would hide Easter eggs in our apartment and we'd paint eggs!! (Like Emily, I had an egg in my room somewhere.. And the smell.. Ugh.) Easter was always a happy time for me. And it still is, even though I'm now doing something different.

On the subject of church, we'd go to church on Easter Sunday. And when I was on camp last year I missed out on family get togethers where they'd be Easter egg hunts for the little kids.. But us big kids always joined in and got all the chocolate first ;) But we're nice.. So we split them up and shared them with the little kids.. Yes.

Just going back on what Emily said.. I'm sorry if this theme offends anyone. I just thought it'd be appropriate because Easter is something that is known on a world basis, on both a commercialism basis and a religious basis.

I'd like to dedicate the remainder of this post to Elisabeth Sladen who passed away on the 19th. Elisabeth died of cancer at the age of 63. If any of you don't know who she is, she played Sarah Jane Smith, a companion of the third and fourth regenerations of the Doctor. She was, of course, Sarah Jane in the Sarah Jane Smith Adventures and became the owner of K-9, the tin dog. She's one of the best companions and in my opinion, the universe just isn't the same without her. R.I.A Elisabeth.
