Joe got a text message from David at 6:30 am asking if he could bring breakfast. Joe enjoyed a nice visit with David and the kids this morning.

David’s family decided to stay home and have a quiet Easter by themselves. We had 12 people over and traveling and the crowd is too much for David. Maybe the earthquake we enjoyed might have been too much too. We went in the backyard and watched the waves of water push out of the pool onto the patio.

David shared with Joe that his doctor sent him home with a computer game to play. The game is called “Re-Mission”; David explained it as a first person shooter game.

The online description of the game is as follows:

An epic battle rages deep in the realms of the human body. Colonies of microscopic cancer cells replicate attack and damage healthy organs. Enter Roxxi, your gutsy and fully armed nanobot, and medicines' mightiest warrior. Lead her through challenging missions and rapid-fire assaults on malignant cells, wherever they hide. It's the world's smallest battlefield, yet the stakes have never been higher.

As Roxxi you shoot cancer cells and stools with “stool-softeners.” David said it has been a fun game and he has actually learned some things while playing.

"When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen Him, they did not believe it. Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either. Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; He rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My Name, they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands, and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

Mark 16:11-18
