Easter Video/ The Beauty in Saturday

Ok so I had a vision to put together this little video. For the most part, it turned out all right. I had the whole thing worked out perfectly and the site wanted to charge me 50bucks to use it. SO, this is the cheaper result..the transitions are too fast and the music lasts longer than the slides, but it works.  A few instructions:
Click on the video..it will take you to a website that will play it.
If you want to view it in full screen mode, in the lower left hand corner of the video is a box made up of arrows (if you hover your mouse over it, it will say "full screen) click it.
If you want the slide to slow down, just press pause and the music will still play but you'll have more time to read the slide, the press play or next to continue. In fact, you could just click through the whole slide with the music playing at your own pace.
Lastly, if you are in full mode, you need to hit the "esc" button on your keyboard to return to the regular screen. The slideshow will keep looping even though the music isn't complete.

Sorry for the long explanation... I hope that you enjoy it. Oh yah, and the beautiful music that makes the entire production is by none other than Logan Clark.

*When you're finished come back..I have a little note at the bottom of the video :)*

Just a note about today...

As we prepare for our celebrations tomorrow, let us not forget the importance of today.  Today, Jesus was not yet risen. Today, He was conquering death.  My lent devotional portrays the importance of Saturday so beautifully:
"Saturday was a long and dark day. Not only did the disciples hide in fear for their lives, but even worse, they grieved deeply.  Soliders had carried Jesus off to his execution the day before. Now their master was dead and the grief cut deeply, leaving them utterly hollow. .. feeling that all hope was gone.

But, on Sunday, the disciples became aware of a reality far deeper than Saturday's grief. They met hope. Jesus plowed through pain and grief and came out on the other side. Saturdays will come, and they will be painful. But remember: without Saturday, we don't get Sunday. Jesus' love is our hope for today and forever. We will grieve, but with hope."

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for tomorrow :).
