Obamas Host Annual White House Easter Egg Roll
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- Thousands of kids and their parents swarmed the White House grounds today for the annual tradition of rolling Easter eggs across the South Lawn, complete with games, storytelling and a visit from the Easter Bunny.

Pope: Humanity Isn't Random Product of Evolution
By not in system - AOL NewsVATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI marked the holiest night of the year for Christians by stressing that humanity isn't a random product of evolution.

Ohio Church to Give $1,000 Easter Nest Egg to Worshippers
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsA few Ohio churchgoers may receive something other than Communion and spirituality this Easter: cash! Two lucky worshippers at the Lindenwald Baptist Church in Fairfield will walk away from Easter services $500 richer as part of the congregation's promotional holiday raffle. Pastor Randy Moore says that both the church's mission and the current economy prompted the lottery. "First, we want to be able to present the gospel of Jesus to the world," Moore told AOL News. "And secondly, with the hard economic times we feel we can be a blessing to people. We give missions and money to other lands ...
Lent 2011: Twitter Giving Up Twitter and Cupcakes
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsCookies, McDonald's breakfast and non-weekend beers: These are just a sampling of the many indulgences that Twitter users will be abstaining from tomorrow through Easter when Ash Wednesday brings in the season of Lent. Since Catholics are encouraged to make a sacrifice for Lent, emulating the 40 days of prayer and fasting observed by Jesus before he began public ministry, the micro-blogging world is sharing a few ideas of its own. What might you give up for the next 40 days? Surge Desk scanned Twitter for suggestions. Some tweeters are contemplating the ...

By David Moye - AOL NewsDavid Klein's name should be on everyone's lips. Certainly, his greatest invention is. Back in 1976, Klein created Jelly Belly jelly beans, a product that revolutionized the candy industry by putting a gourmet spin on the lowly jelly bean.

I came up with the idea of having them taste in different flavors and using high-quality ingredients." Courtesy Roxanne Klein This gummy heart weighs 2.5 pounds and oozes candy blood in 11 spots. Creator David Klein is planning a gummy foot that ...
Why the Catholic Church's Excuses Ring Hollow
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyThis year, as always, Catholics flocked to Mass on Easter Sunday. It is the holiest of days, the time for Catholics and other Christians to reflect on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. But while solid in their faith in God, lifelong Catholics are shaky in their support of the men who have guided the church. I attended on Easter because I really wanted to hear what our pastor, a kind and gentle man like the majority of priests, would say. While I wanted some acknowledgment of the pain of abuse victims and the commitment of the church to remake its culture of secrecy, I wasn't surprised that ...
Obama Says He's Inspired by Easter's Resurrection, Meets Black Pastors
By David Gibson - Politics DailyPresident Obama has arguably cited his Christian faith and the importance of religion to him and to the country more than even his faith-based predecessor, George W. Bush, and he continued that trend in two post-Easter events at the White House on Tuesday. One was a meeting with about 20 African-American church leaders that was seen as an effort to ease their worries that Obama -- the nation's first black president and one who is steeped in the African-American church tradition -- was not addressing the concerns of their flock, which has been hit especially hard by the recession. ...
