a Good Friday reflection....
"Today, on the quietest day of the year, we have come to sit in the presence of one who was fully who God created him to be every day of his life--who loved God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, and with all his mind--and who loved his friends so much that he stepped into the oncoming traffic of death in order to push them out of the way. He furthermore did it all with no more than the basic human equipment--a beating heart, two good hands, a holy vision, and some companions who could see it too--thereby showing the rest of us humans that such a life is not beyond our reach. Whatever else happens on Sunday, here is enough reason to call this Friday Good. Amen."

Wow, getting deep...I am blessed to have someone as rooted as you are in my life. You, without knowing it so much, keep me grounded. Thank you!
i love the part that says that such a life is not beyond our reach. because my heart says that is true but my mind, my strength and my soul are very sceptical at the moment. this lent i think God really showed me that i need to just sit spiritually for awhile...like a quiet sabatical. just as jesus took time to go to the mountain...i need time to go sit. time to regain myself spiritually. so thanks for the good friday reflection on this tuesday after easter:)
