Good Friday

Heard part of a song on my way to work this morning that made laugh out loud - the sentiment, I’m sure, was honest and true, but it just cracked me up. I’ve no clue who was singing - or the name of the song - it was on the Christian radio station about 7:45 Alaska morning time.

The phrase? Talking about the crucifixion - after 3 days . . . you can’t keep a good Man down.

And my laughter? Not so much at the sentiment - because it is true - He arose on the third day - but more because my reaction was so much like my Grandma Abbott would have had - did have whenever my sister and I would rave about the (at that time) new group, the Beatles. She would roll her eyes and bemoan the insensitivities of youth these days.

Yes, I admit, my first thought was on the irreverence - or perceived irreverence of the phrase. But you know what?

I’m ever so glad that the devil could NOT keep THE Good Man down!

It is a GOOD Friday, indeed.

I love it, I love it, I love it! Yes, I hear you - it smacks of the inherent irreverence of youth, but … oh, WOW! It’s so utterly and completely true, and I’m soooo grateful it is!

Wonderful blog!
