It's a little early, but Happy Easter to my fellow Christian brothers and sisters and to everyone else! It's great to be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus this year as a full-fledged, born-again Christian! I hope the Easter Bunny brings you guys a TON of chocolate this year, too! (Or money, it's just as good, lol.)

PS- Tune in to Channel 246 on DIRECTV starting tonight and give praise to God from now until Sunday with Songs of Praise, a repeating hour and a half of soul-filled songs that will feed your inner desire for God and His teachings!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to you also. I was just watching some services relating to the Easter vacation. Not much people celebrate Easter here so you'd get many posts saying "I'm no Christian", or to the extent... OR none at all :D

None the less, good to see a fellow brother in Christ.

What denomination are you, Eugine? I'm a Pentecostal, but not like those crazy ones with snakes you hear about, hehheh. We're a little tamer than that.

Ahhh.... I've heard of that denomination. I mean, I know you just said you don't have one, but anyways, you know what I mean. Well, it's mighty rare to find another believer in these forums with other teenagers, but I'm happy that there are others here.... =)

I think I'm probably a little more relaxed about my Christianity than you guys, but that's just the religion itself, my morals for real, physical and social interaction are probably just as high. Then again, I haven't gone through the stages leading up to and the actual confirmation yet, so I guess my faith isn't as solidified yet.

Anyways, yeah, I'm catholic, so a definate Happy Easter to all of you! :D

There are 14 or so stations dedicated to Jesus's walk to Calvary. You say a prayer at each one as you go around the church. there are icons of each station, usually.

If it wasn't for topic like these, then I wouldn't have the slightest clue on when Easter would be.

I've never heard of such a thing as "stations." Is this a denomination-specific thing or do some do it and not the others?

I'm Roman Catholic, so I'm guessing it is denomination-specific.

I usually get nothing. Since Easter means very little to me and I'm not the kind that always want's something I don't even get anything. But I don't care, since the only thing I usually want are sweets and candy. Though I quite rarely want those too. And whenever I want candy I just go to the shop round the corner. Hooza!

HAPPY EASTER! (For real, this time. :D)

I guess I've never really been concerned with Easter before this year. I became born-again in October, so.... If my calculations are correct (and they might be a bit off), I've been saved for:

5 Months, 2 Weeks, and 3 Days

I might be off a couple days, but I don't think I am. Then again, that means that I probably am, with my luck.

Easter Services todaaaaaay! I love going to church!

^Probably with MD on this one. More habitual than willing.

Then again, I love seeing how services are performed at different churches...probably since my family so routinely uses the EXACT SAME PARISH EVERY FREAKIN SUNDAY. It would help if we had better priests too, since 2/3 of the time we get the "Game Show Style" one.

And Kemosabi, no religion pushing plz. If you really want someone else to experience being born again, the best thing to do is to influence their lives first, become a huge and important person to them, and then, only then approach them, and only once, so it has to be at the right time. Born-agains have a bad image because they can be so enthusiastic when someone doesn't want to hear about it...so maybe you can help clean up that image. :D

I don't recall pushing my religion on anyone. All I was doing was expessing my enthusiasm. And as a Christian, I know how to help others see the Truth, by the way. Oh, and born-agains might be enthusiastic, but this enthusiasm is often what spurrs others to become Christians. And people don't have to listen.

Yadayada ya. I'm not saying you did anything. I'm saying don't do anything :D

I just know a lot of people who are really turned off from Christianity because they feel that born agains are being extordinarily pushy about it, and I don't want them to feel like that. Sorry, I hope you understand what I'm getting at.

It's a good idea to hatch those eggs in your sigs. I got a lot of chocolate, too, for the record.

My Church was a little more enthusiastic than ever since the Pastors changed. Those stained-glass windows looked stunning.

MD...are you one of those people that only comes to mass on Christmas and Easter? xD

Geeze, the church was so full today. And then the pastor went crazy with the holy water...we probably would have been dryer if we stood outside in the pouring rain. You know in the movie A Bug's Life, when they're running from the giant water drops? Yeah, it felt like that.

No, they had specially designed stained glass placed for that Easter season.
