A Man Condemned to Die on Calvary



FROM THE VOICE OF SANDI PATTI
"VIA DOLOROSA"
ALBUM: FINEST MOMENTS
 
"Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
A Man condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death

Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
But He chose to walk that road out of
His love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.

The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem."

Have a very blessed Easter weekend!

HE LIVES!

"Christ Jesus lives today...HE walks with me and talks to me along life's narrow way..."


He is Risen Indeed!   


"How do I know HE lives? HE lives within my heart!"

Easter Blessings!

Were You There?

"Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble...
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?...
Were you there when they pierced him in the side?...
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?...
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble..."
                                                                                          African-American Spiritual

Driving past a church we spotted this rugged cross draped in black...


My friend and me stopped, took the photo, and remembered...

Allow me to paraphrase the words of a dear friend, 'on Easter morn, may each of us find ourselves in a Christian Church worshiping a Holy God who created us...'

 Have a Blessed Easter!!

Window Shopping...Spring and Easter

When we were young window shopping was a favorite pastime!  After Sunday church going downtown to look at the window displays was as normal as eating apple pie! (Stores were not open on Sunday afternoons, no big box stores either!)  We would take a stroll (to walk off the Sunday dinner) around the block peeking into the store windows to see what was new! 

The displays were fantastic too! Alot of  pride and much thought were given to each window. No two windows were ever the same. And guess what?  The window scene changed each week!  Quite a bit of work for the employees but it did bring in the business for the following week!


Now old habits are hard to give up...my friend and me still window shop!  In the town of Columbiana several shop owners display their wares in very dressed up windows! 

A big welcome...





   
(pardon, for the glare on the windows!)





Notice how the windows are tied together with a common theme...notice the black & white tiles...






Very pretty use of colors...






Inviting...






Love the greens...


Hope you've enjoyed your window shopping today!  Send me your comments!

Have a Blessed Day!! And see ya down the junkin' road!!
