Good Morning!

It’s Friday!!!

And it’s the Good one too! 🙂

So I’m breaking out the Easter colors. 🙂

I’m always of two minds today. When I think about the cross, the nails, the coarse, heavy wood, and the horror of death by crucifixion, it makes me want to weep. The fact that He would do so for a wretch such as me overwhelms me a bit. I better than anyone know how undeserving I am of such an honor, yet He offers it freely to me. I can’t cover what I’ve done, can’t hide it, but through Him, and His death, my sins are washed clean. It’s humbling, and should be, right?

But at the same time, I’m pretty happy about the whole affair because I know how it ends. 🙂 So I can’t help but be excited too. 🙂

Am I the only one?

It’s been fun the last few days open threading the music. Let’s stick with that, and make it the QoD.

Do you have a favorite song for this time of year?

Don’t laugh, but this is one of my favorites. I remember the first time I heard it watching with my wife and daughter. It almost made me cry. 

I said almost. 😕

It tells the story perfectly. It’s so simple, even a child can understand it. 🙂
