Well,it's Easter Sunday. Today is the day I sit down with my bishop and talk to him about my depression. This is going to be hard. I could use some encouragement and a few hugs if y'all don't mind.

Happy Easter.

I'm singing in the choir today, and my wife is wearing her new Easter dress. What ever happened to the Easter bonnet tradition?

Good luck with the bishop Derrell, or should I say YM President Derrell?

On Easter Monday, the boys go around beating the girls with these specially made easter sticks (woven with ribbons on the end), and in return the girls give them (chocolate) eggs or vodka (one for the young boys, the other for the adult boys). East of here they combine this with pouring water on the girls. And in Poland I think they just do the water.

I try not to go outside on Easter. [Smile]

This is a truly beautiful Easter Sunday. I had a nice talk with my bishop and am going to get the help I need.

Hmmm, now that you mention it, I think in some parts of the country, they do the sticks thing instead of water.

I will never forget how my grandfather poured (really stinky) perfume over me once. I was supposed to meet my best girlfriend's fiance for the first time. I was so MAD!!!

(perfume is supposedly more "chic" than water. But not when it is the cheapest fake perfume!!!)

Chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.

I feel slightly sick.
