Good Friday

As a child, I would often question why was Good Friday called Good Friday. In fact, I would argue that it is very rare to have a bad Friday. If this Friday was so Good, then what made it good. The same can be questioned about what makes Sonic's Wacky Pack so stinkin' wacky. But we will save that for another day. After questioning many people, it was hard for anyone to give me a straight answer. Once I got the answer, it was difficult for me to understand why it was called Good.
Good Friday, the day that Christ was killed... If you were like me in my preteen age years, you might be having a difficult time with this title. The reason that Good Friday is in fact so Good is because it was the day that Jesus Christ gave the ultimate sacrifice, His life, out of love. He died because He loves. It was because He loves Brandon Bentley. It was because He loves you. It was because He loves everyone. While some might see this as a day of sorrow, I see it as a GOOD Friday!

A Big Week

This week is being remembered as the Holy Week. The week leading up to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This week, I can't help but be thankful that such a powerful God wanted a relationship so bad with me that He sent His only Son. It is also such an important event because it gave legitimacy to Christianity.
On a less serious note, it is also an amazing week because those Tennessee Volunteers begin there run for a national championship. GO VOLS!!!
