Many of you may not even see this, given the fellowship we&#8217;ll all be enjoying tonight, but I thought I would post it anyway. As we begin the Spring Holy Days, all of you are on my minds, and I hope you are well.<\/p>\n<p>The Friday Night Greetings for this evening is below. It includes some thoughts on how Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread picture the fulfillment of true <em>needs<\/em> we have, not simple desires or wants. I hope you find the thoughts helpful as we enter these beautiful days.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as this world&#8217;s Easter celebration is coming up, I thought you might be interested in my recent blog post. It includes links to a small essay I wrote a few years ago, titled &#8220;Because He is risen, I don&#8217;t keep Easter,&#8221; as well as to the commentary we created for the TW website based on that post. And, even better, it includes a link to the very good commentary by Mr. Mike DeSimone currently on the TW website, titled &#8220;Easter of Passover.&#8221; His commentary has a great chart simply and plainly contrasting Easter and Passover, and I <em>highly<\/em> encourage you to check it out. <a href=\"https:\/\/wallacegsmith.wordpress.com\/2015\/04\/03\/because-he-is-risen-i-dont-keep-easter-plus-a-great-chart-contrasting-easter-and-passover\/\" title=\"&quot;Because He is risen, I don't keep Easter&quot; -- plus a great chart contrasting Easter and Passover\" target=\"_blank\">Here is a link<\/a> to that blog post.<\/p>\n<p>Take care, and have a beautiful NTBMO and a profitable Days of Unleavened Bread!
