Happy Easter!
(Fair Warning: Blatant Christianity in this post)
I’ve been meaning to post a “personal” update for awhile, and I think this would be an appropriate time to share a little of what I’ve been up to lately.
It’s been about a year since I came down with some health issues, which I reported in a blog post last year. I’ve been largely focused on my recovery over the past year, and I’m happy to report that I’ve experienced much improvement.
Today we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, and I believe that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to us today! I am very thankful for that.
I had the priviledge of painting a couple of pictures for an Easter-themed presentation at my church. I was given some Bible verses, and painted the pictures based on those verses…
“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked.
They all answered, “Crucify him!”
“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”
All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”
Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. (Matthew 27: 22-26)

As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. (Luke 23:26)

I’ve also had the opportunity to paint during some live worship services and healing services. It’s been a real blessing, and fun to see what God gives me (these are painted quickly and spontaneously). I hope you don’t mind me sharing a few of them, as they kind of fit in with the Easter theme too. Some of them have been more abstract, such as these…
Spiritual Warfare

Reborn Identity

New Life in Christ

Fire and Water Falling

We’ve had a lot of other stuff going on in our house lately too. As you can imagine, it’s always an adventure when you’ve got 5 kids. Still on the theme of NEW LIFE, one of our cats just had a batch of kittens…

We also got a dozen baby chickens, which we will raise for eggs…

Lastly, I know y’all always like pictures of smiling babies, like my little girl ![]()

I suppose all of this explains why I haven’t been posting many lessons lately (Don’t worry I’ll post more soon!). In case you’re wondering, my Internet business is alive and well, and bringing in plenty of passive income every month. In fact, my income has not dropped, even though I’ve been working less. The things I teach in the lessons and in my coaching club DO work ![]()
So here’s today’s action step: As you build your business, remember your true priorities.
Have a blessed day!



Thank you for sharing such wonderful pictures with us. Happy Easter to you and yours.
I’m glad your health is improving and totally agree about the importance of remembering our true priorities in life.
I just started listening to your tips and completed lesson 5 this evening. I am really enjoying the lessons and I appreciate your common sense approach and your knowledge. I think you will get me out of my analysis paralysis state of mind. Thank you and God Bless
Eric,
These are precious. What a special family you have. Thank you, for sharing. And, I know you will have a wonderful Easter.

He is risen!
He is risen indeed!
Appreciate your stand for Christ. I am assisting in developing a company that will assist many churches, missionaries and charitable organizations raise a substantial amount of support for their good works. You have a lot of marketing info that would assist and I would like to engage you, but will have to wait awhile because do not have marketing dollars yet. Email me back and maybe we can at least start a dialogue. Have a Blessed Easter. He is Risen!
Happy Easter Eric to you and your beautiful family. Happy to hear you are doing well.
Eric, thank you for your testimony and the awe-inspiring pictures! It is good to see some other Christian internet marketer out there besides me. And, you have a cute baby girl.
God bless you my friend,

Eric,
Thank you so much for sharing your faith and for sharing another aspect of your gifting and God’s anointing upon you. We do celebrate Easter. I’s like to share with you a song my wife sang some time ago at a Good Friday service. She is currently incapacitated due to a heart attack, which resulted in a coma. But God is faithful and continues to sustain her. Please give a listen if you feel so led. God continue to prosper you in health, wealth and ministry.
Hello Eric, Thanks for sharring those pictures of your family and your love for OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Now I know why you are a successful person. I hope you and your family& friends have a great HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY! Eric check out this,”TheThorn.net” I took my wife to this production, and it is truely the greatest show on earth!Thank you,–Luis A. Deleza

Happy Easter Eric and family!
Thank you Eric for your solid Christian comments and encouragements. Glad you are feeling improved. May you go on from strength to strength, charged up by the power of the Risen Christ. May you have a Christ filled Easter and Blessed rest of the year!
Hi Erick,
I’m very glad to know that you feel better now since your health issue has been keeping you from posting more often.
I just come from an annual Easter event and I’m glad you share those pictures with us (I didn’t know you were a painter:). It’s a good time to remember all the sacrifices that Jesus-Christ has endured for us before dying on the cross and I’m also grateful for that.
I can see that you were not busy taking care of your health only; 3 kittens, 12 baby chickens, fortunately your kids will help you take care of them. Your little girl is very cute by the way!:)
Take care and have an Happy Easter!
David
Eric,
I love “blatant Christianity” and smiling babies. Thank you. Happy Easter to you and those you love.
Dianne
Hey Eric,
Glad to hear you’re winning the battle over your health. Happy Easter!
Hi Eric
Never did understand the “Happy Easter” thing. But i do the senterment. “We are truly blessed and gratful for the One who took our place”. Remember to always count your blessings like you count your chicks. Thank you so much for sharing, it is truly uplifting.
Stay Blessed
Billy
Good morning,
I wish you a speedy recovery and a wonderful year in your business and with your family, I also had the disease and know that everything is possible when you believe. thank you for your advices, and happy Easter from France!
I love “blatant Christianity” too - there is not enough of it - too worried about offending. So glad your health is improving. And what a talent you have. Happy Easter from Oz.
Take care - Lindsay
Eric - wonderful! Blatent Christianity is not a crime and it is great to share the true meaning of Easter with you and yours.
Happy Easter!
Veronica: A Happy Easter with Your family.Glad to know that You are healthy.You are so blessed and talented ! Are You coming again in Israel?Would be pleased to meet You and family !! With love
So you paint too Eric! Man, you´re full of surprises. Wonderful paintings and I do love the photo of your kids around the new chicks. Happy Easter!
Thank you for sharing your blessings… love the paintings… great talent. God bless!!
Dear Eric,
I ‘m really happy you’re recovering.May you always be such a giving, caring person and may you have all blessings God can bestow on a person. Enjoy your lovely family!I’ll start studying your lessons again now I have a little vacation for Easter. God bless and Happy Easter!
Hi Eric
Thank you for sharing your views and family’s pictures. I would like to ask for a favor as I am a newbie in your club.
I have been receiving your letters regurlarly as you promised and I am thankful for that.
The problem I have got is that I don’t have time to put all that knowledge in practice though I am serious about making money through the internet. I would really appreciate if you could give me a break so that I would have time to process everything. I have no idea how to do that. Maybe you could help by telling me how I would appreciate as well if during my break you would stop charging my card.
Much obliged would I be.
GLAD PÅSK önskar Mia it means happy easter in swedish
Happy Easter to you and your family, Eric, and God bless us all.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your blog very much.
To health, wealth, love and happiness,
Suzanne
A happy easter to you and the family certainly worth living for. I love your art work and the precious photos and am very happy to hear you are recovering nicely. I droped out somewhere before lesson 10 at the part where you may need to learn more about the computer theory.All is in storage on the computer till the why is big enoughlike the 20 other programes on the shelf it seem i drain bits of each one for my needs and move on. The thing that has stuck with me is the long distant reiki healing sessions and overall spiritual journey. It seems I am a blanket hugger and will sit and listen to a prophet in awe like the air that I breathe it fills the void of human value but the contribution factor well it is on the way rather than in the way. Peace be with you brother
love the pictures especially the smiling baby.Happy Easter Eric
Happy Easter to you and your family Eric.
You have a real talent for painting.
Thanks Eric for this wonderful sharing.. you’re
indeed very creative in many ways..Your
“Fire & water falling” is very impressive
Wishing you & your loved ones Happy Easter
Mike Wong
Wow, an artist too! Is there no end to your talents lol!
Hi Eric, I’m not a relgious person but I do thank you for taking time out to send a personal message to your subscribers at this time of year. You really do have an eye for painting, I’m no art lover, but your abstract paintings are fascinating. Do I see a touch of Floyd inspiration in there? Happy holidays to you and your family.

Faith, talent, generosity and a beautiful family; what a wonderful Easter gift you have shared with us. I have followed you since I first added I.M. to an already hectic schedule as my husband also had critical health problems. Today, especially, I give thanks that two good men seem to be pulling through. Life is so often hard but inspiration and hope come along when you need it - thank you for sharing .
Your words, your art, your photos ( your little girl ! ) are outstanding and beautiful. God Bless.
Eric,
Thank you for all the wonderful pictures! Enjoy celebrating a glorious Resurrection Day!

I just had to add my bit - beautiful art, beautiful family, blessed life - Happy Easter.
And,oh yes, I’ve always appreciated “Eric’s Tips”and crave for more-lots more.
Mike
Thank you for sharing such wonderful pictures with us. Happy Easter to you and yours all family too
I’m glad your health is improving and totally agree about the importance of remembering our true priorities in life.
It is good to remember that more than 2,000 years, God had given us the Gift of Jesus Christ. The suffering, the pain and ultimately death was the price that Jesus had to endure to pay the price of sins of you and I.
And if that is the end of the story, then how different is Jesus from all those who dies for a believing in a cause? Well, the story did not end here because on the 3rd day after Jesus died, He resurrected again. Meaning He becomes alive. And this is the reason we celebrate Easter Sunday.
Jesus is alive…
Happy Easter, everyone.
Eric: I just wanted to send a quick message
to wish you and your beautiful family a Happy Easter and many thanks for sharing those wonderful pictures, love with Jesus and great info with us. God Bless you and I wish you and your family every Blessing all the time.

I awoke this morning with this old hymn running through my mind “…I serve a living saviour, he’s in the world today. I know that he is risen whatever men may say…” and I have only to look at the bursting green world that surrounds me to affirm that this is so. I appreciate you sharing your faith and all your gifts with us. Blessings on you and your family and all the family of man.
Karen Elizabeth

Thanks for sharing your family and faith in Christ.
I hope your health gets better.

Hallelujah seems to be the appropriate word!
Happy Easter! You are the best Eric - thank you for all the wonderful stuff you provide - especially the newsletters. I thought with all your cats and kittens you might enjoy my website. Warning - not fully optimized yet - but still a great site.. Cats and kittens make wonderful pets. They are fairly neat, warm and affectionate, and need little care compared to other pets such as dogs. However, even cats can be a hassle to clean up after if you do not have the right litter box. It is important to know what to look for in a litter box before going out and buying one so that both you and your cat are pleased with the results. There are various kinds of litter boxes that serve different purposes. Litter boxes may be referred to by a variety of names such as a sand box, sandbox, poop box, litter tray, litter pan, cat box, or cat box, but they are all referring to the same object, which is a cat urine and feces disposal tray designed for indoor use. Here is a list of the different kinds of litter boxes and what to look for.
Traditional Litter Boxes: If you are the traditional and simple type and don’t like to bother with the fancy and complicated products that are on the market today, you are better off sticking with these traditional litter boxes.
Related Coverage Cat Litter Box – There are different kinds of cat litter boxes that are being sold in pet shops and you might be confused on what to get. Read this article to find out which kind of you need. Cat Litter Box Furniture to Hide the Mess and Give Style to Your Home - Cats and kittens litter box furniture is a great way to disguise your feline’s toileting area.

Often times, the mere smell of someone’s home will reveal whether or not they own a cat. There may not be much worse than the putrid smell of a dirty litter box emanating within a home. Many people would jump at just a chance to eliminate the stench of cat waste altogether. Dealing With Litter Box Smells
Litter box smells can really be annoying and can actually lead to a person developing allergies to cat urine. If you live in a small apartment or condo it can be hard to control these odors, so here are some tips to help you. After all, the great thing about cats and kittens is that they clean up after themselves. Having a litter box handy is enough for most cats and cat owners. However, if you find that your cats and kittens is unusually messy, relives itself extremely often, or if you are not around much and don’t have the time and the patience to deal with cleaning the box, you may want to consider other options such as automatic litter boxes.
Automatic Litter Boxes:
Unlike traditional boxes, automatic ones require only premium filler and are much pricier than the simpler traditional cat pans. Automatic litter boxes are electric and therefore need to be placed near an outlet. It is up to the user to decide whether or not the box is always on or not.
Most cats and kittens boxes are extremely safe and there is no reason to worry for the cat’s safety, however if you want to be extra cautious you can turn on the litter box to run a cycle only after the cat has relieved itself. Most automatic cat boxes require that the cat be at least six months old. Read more at http://cats-andkittens.com.
Hi Eric,
You got some very powerful pics… Love the kittens… I’m a Christian too… And Im happy knowing that you are so open about it…
Eric,
Your pictures gave me chills! Like others here I’m glad to find another Christ Follower in internet marketing! Today is a time of celebration, and reflection of what was done for us. Because of HIM we are saved! God Bless you and your family!
Living In His Grace,
Debbie
Happy Easter Eric and great pictures there, you are indeed a man of many talents! it’s also good to know that you are still getting a passive income even when not working so much - I had the same last month - some health issues - but still managed some passive income so your lessons are good ones for sure
Awesome pics and paintings. Keep them coming! Christ is risen! He has risen indeed! Maranatha!
Thanks for sharing Eric. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Don
Happy Easter Eric and family. Christ the Lord is Risen today, Alleluia!
I am sorry to hear about your health issue. I have joined your program but so far I did not pay much attention because of my own project. URL I am sharing is till in construction. I believe it is God’s leading I opened up your Easter Message. I have been working on WaterFoodMission (WFM)and finally I am getting so fruit. I am one of those do-it-youself-guy. So I leanred a lot about website building. It is not really profesioal but there is it is my creation. After you read the above and my main site at http://GWSS.org you can help my mission I would apprecaite it. GWSS (Global Water Shortage Solution)’s goal is to inform public about water shortage because of our man made pollution, population explosion and our waste of water. We use water as if 100% of ocean is filled with fresh water but the reality is only 1% and it is keep shrinking because of reasons I mentioned above…we lose over 4000 children every day in developing countries (I know your misstionary work) I found out there is a simple way to correct this tragedy, tried to express in my GWSS site… Take care Eric and I pray for your speedy receovery from your health issue. May God bless your endeavors and keep you in good health. By the way I did not know you are an artist. May I use one or two pictures to share with my facebook friends? Have a Blessed Easter!
Thank you so much for the courage to post the awesome message of our RISEN LORD and letting people know what Easter is really about. As the Lord said “If you deny me, then I will deny you.” We all need to share more this wonderful saving message to others, without fear of what others might think. I want to share just a portion of something I read yesterday during my morning devotions that I feel is important to everyone. “”Are you living the kind of life that will give you fulfillment at its end? In what are you investing your time and energiers? Fulfillment in marriage at retirement occurs only through fulfillment during the seasons of mariage beforehand. Dr. James Dobson says: “I have concluded that the accumulation of wealth, even if I could achieve it, is an insufficient reason for living…I will consider my earthly existence to have been wasted unless I can recall a loving family, a cosistent investment in the lives of PEOPLE, and an earnest attempt to serve the GOD who made me. Nothing else makes much sense.”" God was speaking to me personally I feel as sometimes I find I am spending too much time trying to make my internet business a go of when I could be spending more time doing God’s work. Everyone don’t forget to invest time with your family as we can’t take any of this earthly wealth with us. Thank you Eric for being who you are in Christ and having the guts to share it. May our awesome GOD continue to richly bless you and your wonderful family. I would love to have personal coaching with you if you have such a thing. GOD BLESS
Thank you so much for sharing these paintings and pictures. They are wonderful!
Enjoy this Resurrection Sunday!
What a brilliant idea for painting spiritual warfare Eric! Great metaphor.

I’ve been with you awhile now and appreciate the fact that you are a fellow Christian. I wish that there were far more of us that were Internet Marketers. Or more importantly that if there are, that they’d not be ashamed to admit it.
Thanks for the scriptures and pictures, happy Easter to you and your family and I pray and definitely know that with Christ, you will continue to heal and prosper beyond your wildest dreams.
God Bless,
Keith Gloster

Thank You for those beautiful pictures. Happy Easter.!
Happy Easter Eric and family. Christ the Lord is Risen today, Alleluia!
I am sorry to hear about your health issue. I have joined your program but so far I was not able to give much attention because of my own project. URL I am sharing is still in construction. I believe it is God’s leading I opened up your Easter Message. I have been working on WaterFoodMission (WFM)and finally I am getting some results. I am one of those do-it-youself-guy. So I leanred a lot about website building. It is not really profesioal but here it is it is my creation. After you read the above and my main site at http://GWSS.org you can help my mission by spreading or using your own church mission. I would apprecaite it. GWSS (Global Water Shortage Solution)’s goal is to inform public about water shortage because of our man made pollution, population explosion and our waste of water. We use water as if 100% of ocean is filled with fresh water but the reality is only 1% and it is keep shrinking because of reasons I mentioned above…we lose over 4000 children every day in developing countries (I know your misstionary work) I found out there is a simple way to correct this tragedy, tried to express in my GWSS site… Take care Eric and I pray for your speedy receovery from your health issue. May God bless your endeavors and keep you in good health. By the way I did not know you are an artist. May I use one or two pictures to share with my facebook friends? Have a Blessed Easter!
Eric,
I am Jewish. And I do wish you a Happy Easter!
You are a good man. And you are helping people.
I hope you and yours have the best of religious holidays! Blessings to you!
Bob Dromboski
Thank You Eric, may God richly bless you and your family. I am the father of six kids. Two of them are adopted and very special. Thanks for all you do.

Being a blatant Christian myself (check out front page(s) of my site(s), I REALLY appreciate your pictures
HAPPY EASTER
Please enjoy the celebration of a RISEN Savior
Thank You
Hi Eric, I sent or clicked “Say it!” but these information is still here so I am resending URL I’d like for you to have a chance to view. It may related to your church’s mission. http://isavewater.info/WWD2013.html
Hey Eric and family Happy Easter to
yall and everybody else.
‘Thanks for the pictures
Thank you so much Eric for your teachings and inspirations. The God that you serve will surely heal you completely. Happy Easter to you and your wonderful family!
Eric,
Happy Easter to you and your family. We are glad to hear that your recovering well. Thank you for sharing the beautiful paintings, God has truly Blessed you with many talents! May you continue to progress in your recovery and may God to continue to Bless you abundantly!
Eric,
Thank you for your Easter tributes. Glad you are feeling better. Right now I am going through a medical crisis with my brother who on a flight from London two weeks ago suffered a massive heart attack at the young age of 61 years. It is touch and go for him and on this Easter weekend I am feeling rather melancholy. I have spent a great deal of time the last two weeks in prayer, and I would appreciate it if you would send one as well. My brother, Jim, could use all the prayers he can get right now. I know that GOD will do whatever he feels is best for my brother and the rest of us, but the pain of losing him at times seems unbearable. In addition I am studying your lessons diligently and will continue to do so. Thank you in advance for your prayers for my brother.
Karen
Hi Eric,
Thanks for sharing your paintings. You are such a talented man in many ways, and more importantly you give your talent back to God.
please remember: …. with His wounds we are healed!
Happy Easter!
JBU
Hi Eric,
Bless you brother. Because He lives we live.
Romans 5:10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I trust God for a complete healing for you!
With much love in Christ.
Happy Easter. Really enjoyed your paintings, well done. God bless all of us for a better world, we need more people like everyone who made a comment. We live in a material world where no one or very few people cares about the person next to you. Love and faith will take you to distance while hate, and jealousy will take you nowhere.
God bless all of us.
Hernani
What wonderful art you have. Thank you for your Easter photos as well. Hope that all goes well with you and your health. Have a great Easter day.
Thanks for the pictures.
Happy Easter.
George
Thanks for sharing and being a role model that i would look up too. You have demonstrated to me that you can have good and do good also. You are a great representation of Christianity.
THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, HAPPY EASTER!!
Christ is Risen. Hi Eric, thx for the pics. Great paintings! The “New life in Christ” is my favorite. I think it’s very creative with the cross as the butterfly’s body.
May you be blessed with good health and may this be a blessed Easter to you and yours.
Hi Eric,
Yes,He is indeed Risen!
You have a serious gift there(painting)and it is so good to see you are using it for His kingdom.
I have been receiving your lessons and really appreciate it.To be honest,I have filed them all so far and will open them soon.I have just been so busy this year being part of the leadership in the Kairos Prison Ministry here in Durban,South Africa.
I read Marks insert about the company starting that will assist churches and missionaries to raise funds for His works.I would appreciate some ideas as we need an ongoing finance supply to do our ministry-it is a continuous effort to get finances with the economy the way it is nowadays!We actually have a specific ‘Fundraising Portfolio’ on our Advisory Council ie,our organising committee.Do you perhaps have a contact email of Marks?
However,I do look forward to reading all your lessons soon.
God bless you and family.
Brian
Eric, I want to thank you for your consistent testimony. Thanks for the special message & sharing your inspired paintings. May the Lord continue to bless your family and provide you the necessary health to lead and love them. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Eric,
I rejoice for your empowered witness for Christ. I really like your prophetic art! It speaks volumes in the Spirit! Praise God for all He is doing with you and your family.
Köszönöm, hogy láthattam a csodálatos képeket, a mi megváltónkról és csak gratulálni tudok hozzá.
Örülök, hogy már a gyógyulás is sikerül és a kedves kis családodnak Áldott Ünnepet kívánok.
It’s so great to hear from you, Eric!! I am so glad that you are beginning to feel better, and am very impressed with your artistic skills. (I also was very drawn to the Warfare piece…)
Have a Wonderful and Blessed Easter!
HAPPY EASTER Eric.
What a day to celebrate the RESURRECTION!
Jesus is Lord!
Ralph.
Bless the Lord for His healing upon you. He is Risen indeed!
Thanks for sharing Eric! He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!
Greetings in the Lord, Eric!
We, too, celebrate our Lord’s death for us, and resurrection–am thrilled to share with a fellow believer! We also have 5 children, but ages ranging 20-35. (Thus the “lauraof7…”) And my honey, also, has been brought through “health issues”–cataract surgeries, pneumonia hospitalization, heart disease… He likewise is overcoming! That’s one reason I’ve been stashing your posts in a folder w/o taking action. I will look at them with new eyes, now! Thank you!
Eric,
Thank you.
I believe the LORD gave us internet marketing so that we may afford the time for the things that matter to us most. Your pictures speak loudly of family. It’s wonderful to know that our ABBA, Father has given us Easter as a reminder that we are HIS family.
GOD Bless and Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
God Bless — Rich
Hi Eric
They are lovely pictures and you have a beautiful family. Thanks for presenting Easter on your site.
On a comedy note I saw an Easter picture on Friday of Jesus pointing saying ‘I’ll be back, don’t steal my Easter eggs’.
Janny
Awesome pictures Eric!!! Love it!!!
Hi Eric,
Happy Easter to you and your family. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today. He is alive.
Hey Eric,
I was wondering how you where doing… I AM REALLY HAPPY to know you are doing much better then last year.
YES… I celebrate Easter EVERYDAY thanks to GOD… THANKS for sharing your pictures and for sharing your faith.
Mat God Be our witness in all we do, say and think.. always…
Wishing you and your lovely family all the best in every way and always.
Happy Easter Eric and Family!

Happy Easter. I really enjoyed this post and your pictures.
God bless you
hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter. You do not realise how many lives you touch and how many people you help…..just by being you.
Great pictures Eric. It is good that you give as much time as you do to the spiritual life as well as helping people with your excellent IM advice.
John 17:3
Eric,
Thanks for sharing your paintings which reveal a great talent, but thanks even more for sharing your faith in Jesus Christ. It is good to know there are many, both young and old, who believe that Jesus the Christ died to pay the price for our sin because we have nothing to offer which does not already belong to God. What a wonderful plan by a loving, magnificient God. Alleluia, Christ Arose in victory over sin and death! I will pray and praise God for your healing. Please pray for me and for our country.
c
Thank you, Eric, and a blessed Easter and all the days after is wished upon you and your family. So good to hear you are doing better!!
When prayers go up, blessings come down, and I’m so glad they do.
Best regards,
Kris
Eric and Family,
Easter greetings! Today our study group discussed Luke 24:13-35. Like Cleopas and his companion, our own expectations for salvation can cover our eyes and hearts so that we too could miss the true Savior unless we share the Bread of Life regularly. Thank you for sharing your faith and gifts with us!
Hi Eric
Thank you for sharing those pictures. Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter.
Hi Eric,
Thank you for sharing your paintings. I thank God that He put me in touch with you. Christ has risen…He is risen indeed!!
God bless you and your faminly
Eduardo
Eric, Thank you for sharing this with us. Never fear of being “blatantly Christian”. Will keep your health situation in my prayers. You have a definite artistic talent, don’t hesitate to share it.
Hi Eric,
Happy Easter to you and all your family!
That’s a nice little mixed bag of paintings and photos you posted there. Looks like you’re also a talented artist as well…not too surprising though. My favorite painting would probably be ‘New Life in Christ’. It’s beautiful, original and sends a simple message. Your baby girl’s photo is also quite adorable.
Best Regards,
Anthony
Eric,
God Bless you and your family. Happy Easter. Many thanks for your Tips.
My prayers for a continued and complete recovery.
Jim
He is Risen! Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family. Life abounds!!!
Thanks for sharing.
I am a church planter just getting his hands wet. I’ve looked at online helps and keep being “creeped” out by them. But when I bought yours, I felt “safe.” Now I need some time to figure out all you teach and attempt to put it into action. Happy Ressurction Day!
Great pictures, Eric, Happy Easter and get well soon….
Hi Eric,
I hope you and your family have a nice Easter. Thank you for sharing. Nice art work and the kittens, chics and the beautiful baby pic brought a smile to my face.
Best regards
Jim
Hi Eric,
Just want to say I hope you had a great Easter Sunday. I had a great Easter Sunday. I had to get up early and go to church with some of the men and cook breakfast for the church to eat after the sunrise service. We had a great
service today.
Our Lord and Savior is alive and well. He is Risen! As you know Jesus had to be born in the flesh and He had to be in the flesh to die as a man and had to rise on the 3rd day so He could follow through God’s Plan. We have an awesome God who loved us so much that he sent his only begotten son to die for us and rise up on the 3rd day so we could have eternal life by believing in Him and following His teachings.
Eric, your paintings are AWESOME, thanks for sharing them with us.
It is very easy to see that you are a man of God and don’t mind sharing this with the world. I pray that God will continue to Bless and take care of you and your family needs. I also like reading your tips on your blog.
God Bless,
James Suggs
I was blessed, when I viewed your beautiful paintings, Eric. Thank you for posting them, and thank you for your “lessons”. I pray for your continued recovery and for blessings upon you and your family. God is good!
Blessings and Happy Easter! Your posts are always a good read.
You have a great talent and courage to share these with other Christians. Continue painting(if u have the time). Would love to see more pictures depicting the life of Christ. Blatant Christianity is unpopular with the media (we know why), but to the man in the street he has now too many problems to ignore Christ. Easter Blessings to you and your family.
Hi Eric, Happy Easter for you and family.
Easter makes we have eternal hope.
Hi Eric,
Happy Easter to you and your family. You are truly gifted. Thanks for sharing your paintings and pictures. Yes, Christ is risen! Thank God. We have hope.
Good to hear all is well with you & yours.I do miss your family up dates with pic’s.Keep up the good fight.
Thanks Eric for your fantastic paintings. God bless you and your family.
Best regards/Torbjorn from Sweden

Hi Eric and thank you so much for sharing your talents (blessings) and your adorable pictures (more blessings!). You certainly put a smile on my face!
God bless you and your family!
Did you really pain this yourself?
An artist too?
-Kurt Pedersen
Hi Eric, So nice to see the family side of the internet business man. The pictures are great and the paintings are inspiring. I found a little girl out on the West Coast who has been blessed with the gift of painting from the age of four. You would probably appreciate her work more than most. Her name is Jordan Cook and her site is; http://www.reachingmyworld.com
hi all in all i thank you for the great work you provide and i wish u the best may God bless you and your farmily
Hi Eric,
Thank you for sharing your pictures with your precious babies, they are beautiful.
I was not aware that you were a painter as well, you are a talented man (God is good).
God Bless
Eric,
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing your talent & smiling young faces. Glad to hear you are on the mend with your health. Wonderful painting! I hope you don’t mind me copying the butterfly/Christ painting to my desktop background for inspiration & motivation.
Blessings to you & yours,
Michael
Thanks Eric for sharing again, may God Bless you even more. I hope you don’t mine if I shared your Easter Photo’s with the world I pointed all links back here to your site from Pinterest from one of my boards http://pinterest.com/darrylhudson/easter-remember/
Thanks again Eric God Bless!
Thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures.
Hello Eric
Many feel that Easter has some link with Christianity. But did you know that the apostles and other early Christians did not celebrate Easter? Here’s a little research to shed some light on this:
What is the origin of Easter and the customs associated with it?
The Encyclopædia Britannica comments: “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament, or in the writings of the apostolic Fathers. The sanctity of special times was an idea absent from the minds of the first Christians.”—(1910), Vol. VIII, p. 828.
The Catholic Encyclopedia tells us: “A great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. . . . The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.”—(1913), Vol. V, p. 227.
In the book The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop, we read: “What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, . . . as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar. . . . Such is the history of Easter. The popular observances that still attend the period of its celebration amply confirm the testimony of history as to its Babylonian character. The hot cross buns of Good Friday, and the dyed eggs of Pasch or Easter Sunday, figured in the Chaldean rites just as they do now.”—(New York, 1943), pp. 103, 107, 108; compare Jeremiah 7:18.
However, note that on the day of his death, Jesus instituted a meal to commemorate his sacrificial death(not resurrection), known as the Lord’s Evening Meal and he commanded “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19, 20) This is the Christian celebration that is held each year on the anniversary of his death.
Eric, I admire your zeal for spiritual matters and thought you’d appreciate this clarification. (John 17:17)
Best wishes
Tony
Hi Tony,
thanks for the notes on the background of the Easter Symbols.
Using these symbols exceedingly can overshadow
the real meaning of Christ’s suffering and ressurection.
I guess the shift in using pagan symbols instead of Christian ones is one of the subtle
moves aiming to remove Christ and His Redemption from the public view and perception.
You are awesome man!
I cannot wait to see my brother Jesus again and embrace him…This has been my vision for as long as I can remember.
The Lord surely blesses, thank you for sharing, this entry really made me smile!
Hi Eric,
Glad to hear that your healing has taken place and you are on your road back to complete rwecovery.
It is also good to hear that you are Born Again. No too many marketers step up and talk about that.
Thank you for your art work and the picture of your daughter, she looks very precious.
A servant of the Lord,
Rich
hi eric - congratulations on some really nice artwork. it’s good to take some time off occassionally. all the best
I appreciate you sharing your activities and challenges. I really like your paintings. As I looked at your paintings, I experienced a greater appreciation of knowing Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I am glad to hear that you are getting better.
I just posted and forgot to enter my name. My comment posted at2012.04.11 10:26, Anonymous
Heartening to see and hear re your Christian commitment Eric.
Thanks
Glad to hear from you again. And doubly glad to hear things are improving.
Happy Easter, Thanks for sharing our faith in the work of the Cross, suffering of Christ, and being established in the resurrection. God’s love us so much we can not know the height, depth, or width. Grace and Mercy shall be given to us for eternity.
Thank you for sharing your Easter wishes your pictures are great.
Very nice of you Eric, your family is so blessed.
Although coming a little bit late
to check the Easter themes,
thank You, Eric, for sharing the
pictures, especially those of Jesus’s
suffering.
May the Ressurected Christ Bless You
and the family!
I am almost moved to tears when I see the suffering of Christ, I know he is risen and therefore I rejoice. The hope which his resurrection gives me keeps me believing in his return and living in that vein.
Awesome paintings. I thank God for you and may he bless you and your family.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Ronald
Thanks Eric for sharing your faith and about your personal life. I am learning from you and others who are honest and open with me.

No, Hostgator makes the domain transfer process very smooth.
