Good Friday

Today is Good Friday and sometimes it is good to just set aside some time for thought. I am home for Easter break and the sun is shinning and the weather is amazing! It is weird to think that today, thousands of years ago, Christ was crucified. It is strange to think that he would do that for someone like me and someone like you. For everyone: the murderer, the widow, the CEO and the waitress. I was just sitting in my room earlier and one song came to mind. It is called Why by Nichole Nordeman. It is an amazing song that day in the past the day Christ was hung on that cross. The first time I heard it I think I cried.

I remember playing it for one of my classes in high school and there was a silence after it finished. It makes you think and it is a beautiful song. I hope you get a chance to listen to it this Easter season and think about what Christ did for you because he loves you. It was weird to think how much in a week things had changed for Christ. He walked into Jerusalem on a donkey and people were praising his entry and then just 5 days later those same people were yelling "crucify! blasphemer!" and wanted him dead.

I think I am going to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. I hope everyone has a great Easter with family and stop to think of why we celebrate this day. The day we celebrate His resurrection and the beginning of new life! :)
