Update (3/30/08):
I haven't done a good web search yet, for a compilation of Easter sermons from this year, but the one from my church
is available here (along with all other Sunday sermons, by date).
Here is
the direct link to the Easter sermon's web page (for streaming audio), and here is
the mp3 download link. Our main pastor is
Eddie Lowen.
Update update: I should have realized that SermonAudio.com was a good resource for this. I found a good page on that site, which listed this year's Easter sermons... I can't find that link right now, but
here is a list of Easter sermons, ranked by popularity.
And: I had meant to include
this article I've found (via
The American Cause's home page, and other sites) by the great
Dr. Chuck Baldwin.
"He is Risen"*****
* Also: Chris Bennett, mentioned in this entry, is currently running for Vice-President of the United States. When wanting to link to his regular weblog ("Blogging from the Black Side"), I found his 2008 campaign blog, among other related web pages.
Easter Sunday
Blogging Brainlock Breakthrough[Note: This is the second time I'm typing this, because my laptop (let = "Toshiba A") disappointedly shut off, a major problem that I've been dealing with since December, and which I may blog about later... in the context of my need for a new Notebook. I am now using my brother's old laptop (let="Toshiba Y").]I recently saved entry drafts below, about how I have totally dropped the ball on this weblog. Despite being backlogged and behind and burned out, I could have gotten guest bloggers, which I said I would do, and as I've done in prior years. There are so many entries that I myself would love to blog about... that backlog has still been growing longer and longer. As I participate in major experiences (political and otherwise), from Springfield, to
northern Illinois, to
Washington, D.C., and back, and as I observe events, issues, and curiosities in the news [some of which I've been indirectly or directly involved with personally], my inability to remark and polemicize about them becomes more and more frustrating.
For today however, I know I have to post something. I have been making a little headway organizing and uncluttering things recently, but I was upset about missing the Good Friday services (both the campus
CSF one, and the late-night one that may have been held at
LaTrice's
church, an event which I attended last year - earlier that evening, I had been at the
Springfield Black Chamber of Commerce's Candidates Forum, for the important spring elections, which I had helped
Chris Bennett* with. I made it a point therefore, to be at the morning service at my main church, and perhaps also stop by a later one, like at
LaTrice's church.
I failed, in all regards. I was intermittently awake and asleep today, and was plagued with horrible dreams... When I awoke the second time, the sun was going down, and in looking out the kitchen sink window, the first thing I noticed was a black cat crossing the view. (not making this up)
I remember
Joe mentioning, perhaps for Easter 2006, that
Michelle Malkin had an entry up, linking to the major Easter sermons for that day. I was there last night, but nothing like that was posted, and nothing seems to be there today. (Instead, a
misleading entry implying - alluding to a past
much-linked to entry at another weblog - that things are much better for Christians in Iraq... while ignoring the problems that this war has caused them - another topic that has been in the news multiple times, but which I've been on
in the past.)
I will try to find some good resources, and append them to the top of this entry.
Here are my Easter-related entries from years past:

news article is especially relevant.]

next one from January 2004] [I need to do more entries about this...]
[Update: Wow! Even NRO's editors may have caught on (just found this article they allowed on their site) to what we warned about, even five years ago (...and were attacked for doing so.]

Happy Easter!
