10 things you should know about my Easter weekend

10. I was the meat in a Freeman sandwich. (I've heard it reported that I'm ham, according to at least one person...it's true. I cannot tell a lie.)
9.  "You need to get your butt in church and STAY there!" -- *THE* quote of the Easter sermon. (But, for real, it's the truth. I could post a whole blog about how my life changed once I left church.)
8.  Easter dinner TWO DAYS in a row. Woot!
7.  I made a "Cardboard Testimony."  I needed a piece of cardboard the size of a jumbo jet, but I made do with what I got.
6.  Then I regretted what I'd put on my cardboard the second I walked into church that morning and saw no fewer than three video cameras. One for the church, one for the local television station that airs our sermons each week and one for the local ABC affiliate's evening news.
5.  I wore a walkie-talkie as "captain" of the FACE team. It brought me back to my college years as a SuperTarget employee. If I had been wearing a red polo shirt and khaki pants, I'd have had some serious flashbacks.
4.  Apology to the esteemed worship pastor:  I was totally the last person to stand up at the chorus of "How Great is Our God." Totally forgot. Didn't even realize I wasn't supposed to be sitting until Elizabeth had already stood. Those stools can get really comfy.
3.  I'm sorry my dad didn't come.
2.  I found out I still have the instinct to flip people off, but I don't anymore. That's the power of Jesus. Small steps... ;OP
1.  God uses broken people. Amen.
