good friday! not only a day off of school but i time to reflex. WOW! we actually get a day out for a christian holiday! so yea Today during the day i have thought, "self, where would jesus be in the process at this hour." So today besides your homework you are doing (yeah right) take some time and reflex on what Christ has done for you. I like the words of a message i got on myspace, "When Jesus was on the cross..... You were on his mind!" It so cool to know that when Jesus was on the cross he had you, me, Osama, Saddam, and everyone else on his mind. HE DIED FOR ME!!

They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. 18There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews'; but that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture: "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."
