Spring Birthdays

Today we celebrate Spring, Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday (323 years, for you history buffs), and my wonderful sister's birthday. We are appropriately commemorating all of the above. When I think of Spring, I think of Easter. Christ's resurrection, however, could not have taken place without His crucifixion which we are remembering today. Our church is commemorating this event with a Good Friday service this evening. Bach's music has been playing throughout our house all day in honor of this great composer's birthday. It is interesting to note that his St. Matthew's Passion was first performed on Good Friday in 1727. As for Donna's birthday... we are eagerly anticipating her arrival in just a few hours!
