Today can be called good
It's Good Friday
It’s Good Friday.
Today we can weep, we can rage, we can shake with guilt and fear, the earth can shake, darkness overwhelm the daylight and it be ok because it can still be called good.
My 8-months pregnant wife can have swollen ankles, constant pain when sitting around just watching Ted Lasso and today can be called good.
Our politicians can have lost their ever-loving minds and today be called good.
Someone can have wiped their history again in both Chrome and Safari and today be called good.
We can not have even thought of a church building or a Bible in years and today be called good (it’s good for you too, come home).
There can be empty seats at the table from death or divorce and today be called good.
There can be medical bills with a lot of big medical words that too many people wish they didn't know the meaning of and today be called good.
I can admit that I'm not who I should be; hell, I can admit that I'm worse (and sometimes I say words that aren't appropriate). It's safe enough to admit what I'm afraid is true: I'm just not a good person. But today is good (and I can confess that I shouldn’t say bad words in writing, forgive me mom).
I don't know what I mean by this but wherever you are, today can be called good. Come, see how deep the love goes, even for you.
It's for you, don't believe the lie that it isn't.
