It's really hard to see the good in Good Friday.
After all, Jesus was stripped, beaten, cursed,
had a crown of thorns pushed into his head. That's
really ugly. I said that I was going to write
nothing but good news for the next few days.
What's up with that?
Here's the some information about Good Friday.
In the first century set aside every Friday for
fasting and prayer. In the fourth century, the
Greek church decided to call the Friday before
Easter Sunday Holy Friday or Good Friday.
Good news? Nah, just history.
NOW ~ here is the good news. Every drop of
blood shed by our Savior was a gift to and me!
By His blood we are saved. He died on that
cross so all nations, races, creeds could have
the opportunity to have eternal life. Look at
His names above on the crown of thorns. No
bad news there . . . Nothing but joyous and
wonderful names. Rejoice with me this day for
the gift of everlasting life.
HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOR!
War child who 'disappeared' finds her way home!
The house was decorated with ribbons and
balloons as Suzanne Berghaus walked toward
it. The 26-year-old social worker from
Wilmington, Mass., would later recall how
beautiful the place looked with its
colorful bunting and hand-lettered signs
welcoming her home. "Te Queremos Mucho"
the sign read. We love you very much.
Valentin Argueta greeted her at the front
gate. It was the first time he'd laid eyes
on his youngest child in 24 years, since her
kidnapping by the government soldiers
during El Salvador's long and bloody civil
war.
More good news from the home front . . . .
Doggies didn't poop in the all night! Woo Hoo!
We worked hard (mostly Rob 
) and the house
) and the house is better than ever!
I talked to my friend who has cancer and she
is sounding better today!

We are loved and we love!
I LOVE GOOD NEWS!!

Bless you in the foundation of your faith, Penny. I think the "good" in Good Friday was meant, not as the opposite to bad, but as meaning this is a good day for us to reflect on His sacrifice for us. "Good" not as pleasing, but as most special and unique. xoxo CATHY
