Where's W-2?
Remember Where's Waldo? Let's play the game, where's Andi's W-2? It's somewhere in my bedroom and taxes are due Tuesday, can you see why that presents a problem? I believe it's in the region just south of the closet.

Happy Easter!
Yeah, so I'm a little late with that greeting. I've been busy, OK?
Above is a picture of the sun rising over Hualalai during the Easter sunrise service at Old A's. I love that all the local churches get together. It's like a big family reunion each spring to celebrate Christ's resurrection.
I have to agree with Brian about Passion of the Christ. Violence in movies doesn't bother me, I saw Saving Private Ryan three times on the big screen. But the Passion is particularly difficult for me to watch. Part of that lies in the fact that I know Jesus; it's not just a depiction of a stranger hanging on that cross.
It's important to remember the sacrifice Christ made for us. But Brian's right. The movie should have touched on Jesus' teachings and made the Gospel message clear. In His life and death Jesus teaches us how to obey the most important commandments: Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Jesus demonstrated that message through a life of perfect obedience to the Father, and he gave up His life willingly on the cross because of His great love for us.
The Bible teaches that all people are sinners. We have all rebelled against God and deserve to be eternally separated from Him. Christ loves us so much, He took God's wrath upon Himself. He took the punishment we deserve so that anyone who believes in Him and turns from their sin will be seen as righteous in God's sight. That's the message I wish Mel Gibson would have presented more clearly.

Sarah's Birthday Boat Take II
It's now a tradition. We chartered a boat today to celebrate Sarah's Birthday. We took it to our favorite spot, Makalawena, where some of our group spearfished. We also snorkeled near Pine Trees- I think we were at the popular dive site, Golden Arches. I was impressed! It was a gorgeous, sunny day, plenty of fun people, it was sweet! Wildlife included a manta ray, several Humpback whales, including a mother and calf that breached near our boat, and the usual underwater critters. It's gonna be hard going back to work tomorrow!

A 40-ton whale seems all that more impressive when she breaches near our tiny Zodiak inflatable boat.
Sarah's geared up and ready to shoot some fish.
The Rocky Road to ...
It wasn't the rocky road to Dublin. I'm sworn to secrecy- I cannot tell you where Saturday's adventure road took us. Since they paved Kua Bay, Makalawena has been crowded (there were 18 cars down there two Sundays ago!) so we were forced to look elsewhere. I'm not saying we found anything. But the road we were on was really cool. It's invisible from the air, the only indications that you're on a road are the spray painted arrows and the scrape marks on the lava from other trucks.
