What a beautiful weekend! The last 24 hours have been amazing! From the awesome exciting prayer and praise meeting last night that I didn't want to end, to the excellent message in church today, to time spent with family... Casey and Brian and Leelan with us in church, and then in the Easter Parade through Roscommon - it was GREAT FUN!! Perfect weather and a good turnout, and the church all did a wonderful job with their floats...and then back here for supper with my mom...I am so blessed!
I love my church and am so glad that God led us there...and I love my Lord...so thankful for His supreme sacrifice, and for conquering even the grave, so that I will never perish, but have eternal life! And I'm incredibly thankful that He helps to sustain my faith with such a church to love, and days like today!

What's So Good About Good Friday?

Wind At My Back
As fan who recently discovered this amazingly marvelous wonderful show (a few months ago) I was anticipating yesterday's movie "finale" that promised to bring it all together with great excitement. In fact, I planned my day around it (no mean feat!).
To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. Nothing was tied together that really mattered, except learning that Van was killed in the war at the very beginning. And it appeared that the Suttons were out of the hotel and in a home or apartment of their own now. But so many of the major characters were missing so as to make it seem like a spin-off, rather than the actual show. And the main storyline introduced a whole new plot and character that we'd never seen before and had no attachment to!
I can't imagine New Bedford without May Bailey, Grace Mainwaring, Prichard Flett, the Cramps...and others who've arrived and become main characters...or rather, I couldn't have, until yesterday. So I'm not really sure what the point of the movie was, and it certainly didn't deliver on its promises.
Today the Insp Network started showing the series again, from the beginning. I am so glad that I've already seen the final episodes, because if this first episode of constant doom and gloom had been the first episode I'd ever seen, I would have never turned it on again. Seriously. Not that it wasn't well-done, because it certainly was! As well-done as any I've seen in fact. And I know that it had to set the stage for what was to come, which grew out of this dark depressing first episode of the series. But I don't like dark and depressing, especially an hour of it without respite.
I will continue to watch, thankful that Insp shows it 3 times a day so if I miss one I can catch it later...but I just had to write my thoughts about the movie especially. I am still a fan because I've read the back of the book, as it were. And I will still HIGHLY recommend the series, even though I am left feeling so morose after today's episode. Knowing that the storyline will get better will hold my interest, and the excellent writing, acting, and direction will keep me watching. In spite of yesterday's disappointment, and today's misery in the Bailey family.
