Good Friday

Have You Ever Wondered ?

If there is an afternoon when you are bound to have thunderstorms and torrential rain, it would be on a Good Friday afternoon. I have often wondered at the phenomena. But secretly in my spirit I associate it with that great sacrifice. Is it a coincidence that it happens here; well at least in this tropical land all the time? Why is the sky crying?

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."

A Pact with God

The dark, thunderous crying skies in the horizon right at this moment is a grim reminder to me of the agony of the Son of God.

Good Friday afternoons at 3pm are real.
