Good Friday

A time to reflect, if you haappen to be Christian, about the love of our God who sent his only son to die on a cross so that we may have eternal life. And how greatful we should be that now all we have to do ask for our sins to be forgiven and they will be, as opposed to killing 5 goats as an offering to God (per sin...I can't even IMAGINE how many goats I'd have to kill a day to purge all of my sins) and going through some priest for absolution.

Honestly, I am not a practicing religious person, however I do have my faith, and I believe in my religion very strongly. That being said I don't spend a whole lot of time even thinking about religion or God, or the concept of Jesus loving me, or whatever else, all that often. Honestly though, for some reason this Good Friday really touched me. But I don't think it was necissarily because of what the day was supposed to be. I think it is simply from being in church at all.

I think that maybe the emptiness that I have been feeling lately can be attributed to a lack of spirituality in my life. I felt so full, so satisfied while at church yesterday (sorry, in case you were wondering, I am Apostolic, and we are a 'holy ghost' church...for those of you who don't know what that is, think big, loud, happy, hand-clapping, feet stomping, out of tune or not singing kinda church :-p). It really made me feel that ultimate love, that love that no human being can give you, true, unconditional, all encompassing love.

I don't know. I'm thinking maybe its time for me to return to the concept of spiritualness. Nothing else in my life has given me such fulfillment, not on any real or long lasting basis. I don't know. Gotta think more about this really.

Anyway, thank you Jesus for dying for my sins.

Have a wonderful long weekend/easter y'all

Cheers
