Blessed Good Friday & Passover! PHOTO THROWBACK-- Good Friday, 2019, Swayze Mill Park, Hope, NJ I took this photo two years ago, right at the beginning of the pandemic. How time flies! These stormy, dramatic clouds remind me of the scripture that describes what happened in Jesus’s last moments on the cross. Matthew 27: 45-54 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!” Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink. The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.” And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!” Thank you, Jesus, for your powerful finished work of taking all our sin on the cross, and opening the door for us not only become God’s beloved children, but one with You. Yours is the greatest love story ever told!
May we always continue to experience your love and grace in a deeper way. Hoppy Valentine’s Day! From Mac and us!  Evan took these photos for me when I was down in Florida helping care for my Mom during Valentine's week in 2016. (The original post is here.) I hope you feel loved and have a wonderful week!!
 Dad took this picture at Easter 1969. Happy Mother's Day in heaven, Mom!
Doug, please give Mom a BIG HUG for me!! :-)  According to Sheep101.info, "Sheep are mentioned in the Bible more than 500 times, more than any other animal. The prominence of sheep in the Bible grows out of two realities. Sheep were important to the nomads and agricultural life of the Hebrews and similiar peoples. Secondly, sheep are used throughout the Bible to symbolically refer to God's people." This is a great link for more info on sheep in the Bible. :) This photo was taken on a visit to Valley Shepherd Creamery in 2010. Blessed Passover and Resurrection Weekend! When I was "matched" with Evan on eharmony in March 2006, one of his profile pictures had a picture of him with his bunny, Tyler. I thought, "Hmmmm...A guy with a bunny? He looks pretty nice..." :-) Yup, he's wonderful! This is our 15th Halloween together, and Evan's 62nd birthday (today)! Thanks to our family for your sweet gifts and greetings! He asked to have t-shirts designed with our bunny Mac as "Count Macula". Here's one of the images we came up with. (The backgound imagery is from Unsplash.)
