Fortune Favors The Bold, But The Dead Are Still Pretty Dead.

Today is Good Friday.  1977 years ago today, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Maker, died a criminal’s death on a cross.  Why?  Because He loves us.  The question is though, do we fully appreciate what He did; what it took to do that?  Will we ever fully appreciate it? Or will we take it for granted, like so many other things?  Mary’s simple Yes; our friends who are always there for us; our families – especially our parents – who take care of us, and feed us, and talk to us; and so many other things that God has given us.  Do we take these things for granted?  Maybe it’s time we took a step back from our lives and said a simple:  Thank You.
