It's Only Friday

It’s Friday

Jesus is praying
Peter’s a sleeping
Judas is betraying
But Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday
Pilate’s struggling
The council is conspiring
The crowd is vilifying
They don’t even know
That Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday
The disciples are running
Like sheep without a shepherd
Mary’s crying
Peter is denying
But they don’t know
That Sunday’s a comin’

It’s Friday
The Romans beat my Jesus
They robe him in scarlet
They crown him with thorns
But they don’t know
That Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday
See Jesus walking to Calvary
His blood dripping
His body stumbling
And his spirit’s burdened
But you see, it’s only Friday
Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday
The world’s winning
People are sinning
And evil’s grinning

It’s Friday
The soldiers nail my Savior’s hands
To the cross
They nail my Savior’s feet
To the cross
And then they raise him up
Next to criminals

It’s Friday
But let me tell you something
Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday
The disciples are questioning
What has happened to their King
And the Pharisees are celebrating
That their scheming
Has been achieved
But they don’t know
It’s only Friday
Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday
He’s hanging on the cross
Feeling forsaken by his Father
Left alone and dying
Can nobody save him?

Ooooh
It’s Friday
But Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday
The earth trembles
The sky grows dark
My King yields his spirit
It’s Friday
Hope is lost
Death has won
Sin has conquered
and Satan’s just a laughin’
It’s Friday
Jesus is buried
A soldier stands guard
And a rock is rolled into place
But it’s Friday
It is only Friday
Sunday is a comin’!

Palm Sunday

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy March!

Well, March didn't exactly come in like a lion, but we did have a bad ice storm last week. It's been raining all week, but the sun came out today and it's been pretty but a little chilly. I guess February went out like a lion!

Our youngest niece is getting married next week, so we are getting ready to travel down to the Texas gulf coast a week from today. We are standing in for the bride's grandparents as my husband's mother can't make the trip and his dad passed away back in 2011. We were surprised but feel very honored to be asked to be part of the wedding party. Our sister in law was widowed at a young age when my husband's brother died and has raised her girls on her own to be wonderful, godly young women. We're really looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating the happy occasion! The next day, our sister in law will celebrate her 20th anniversary with her employer and they are giving her a celebration dinner at her favorite restaurant, so we will get to attend that too.

Happy March!

Not Spring Yet

We've had some very warm days lately-even up into the 80's, but it seems that's over for a while. Today, I had my yearly mammo plus a bone density scan. It was 61 degrees when I left the imaging center and 40 minutes later it was 38! It has rained all day today and some yesterday. We're really glad to get the rain, but hoping it won't be icy tomorrow-the high is supposed to stay in the 30's.

We enjoyed our week with our youngest grands. They are very good boys and we have so much fun with them. The 3 year old had his tonsils and adenoids removed in January, and he is a new kid! He has had sleep apnea since he was tiny and was never able to breathe through his nose. He had dark circles under his eyes and had a lot of strep tonsillitis. Now he is eating well and putting on some weight, sleeping soundly all night and has lost the dark circles. We were so happy to see how well he's doing. (We can even understand what he says now!)

We went to a dear friend's 70th birthday surprise party Saturday-she and her husband were our very best friends and had so many wonderful times together. He passed away in October from Alzheimer's at only 69 years of age. His mother had it and so did her sister and her son now has it too. It still seem's unreal that he is gone, but we had a great time of celebration and reminiscing.

We have a few more Dr.'s appointments this week-as Mary Martin said, "After 60, it's patch, patch, patch!"  Have a great rest of the week!

Valentines!

We have our two littlest Valentines with us this week! Lots of fun and going to play with cousins today. Mimi and Pop are having a good time, but they will be ready for a "long winter's nap" after this week. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

February!

Looks like this year will go speeding by as they all seem to these days. We spent last week keeping our three oldest grands while their parents were out of town. They were so good and helpful and I couldn't be prouder of them! (No prejudice, of course!) We are sore and tired-it's not as easy as it was when our kids were young and so were we!

The wind has blown hard for the last several days and we've had little to no moisture this winter. There have been wildfires everyday as all the fields and pastures are dead and dry. Hopefully this will change before too long. As spring takes hold, we usually have more thunderstorms. I don't like the storm part, but we really need the rain!

Guess I'd better get out of my chair and get something accomplished today. My kitchen and dirty dishes are calling!
