It was Easter. 

I have pondered long about how to grow closer to my Savior.

I feel my relationship with my Heavenly Father blossoms through prayer.

And the more I heed the whisperings of the Holy Ghost, the more I feel His influence.

I have heard and felt that by learning more about Jesus Christ and by following in His ways, we come to know Him as well.

But lately, I've wanted to stretch a little more and feel His presence just a little nearer.  

But how?

Thank goodness for Springtime and Easter and all of the new green, green grass.  Easter is all about new: new flowers, a new season, new leaves, new shoots, new Sunday outfits, and maybe even a new and stronger relationship with Christ.

And my answer came yesterday in the form of a book lent to me by one of my dearest friends...my Mother.  It's called "Believing Christ," by Stephen E. Robinson.  

And it came at just the right time.
