A couple of years ago, my wife and I took a trip to Rochester in New York. She had went to school there for 2 years to play volleyball and has family there. I had never been before but was excited to see a new place. When we went there were many things that she said we couldn’t miss while we were there. We couldn’t miss Niagara Falls, the Finger Lakes, Letchworth State Park, or garbage plates (a plate with hamburger patties, home fries, mac salad, mustard, ketchup, onions, topped with meat sauce!). If we missed any of those then then we missed an experience of a lifetime. When we think about Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus, there is much we can focus on. But as you celebrate this Easter, I want to make sure you don’t miss 4 essential things about the resurrection.

I first met Adam Lowder and Katie Barbaree in early March at the Spur Hotel to get some logistical details about their independent film Wayward Kin, which is scheduled to premiere in Archer City at the Royal Theater on April 25 with an additional showing on April 26. I was already in a good mood that day, but their authenticity and appreciation for the town instantly lifted me up a notch, filling my afternoon with a bit more joy. I couldn’t wait to share news about the movie with my community.
