Today, Good Friday, is the day of remembrance of Jesus’ crucifixion on the cross. ✝️
It was also a day of work for me. After the first patient came out from their exam, it was as if I had been placed on a treadmill that was stuck on high! 😳 Within a matter of an hour, I was 6 pairs of glasses needing to be ordered-deep with more on the way AND, people walking in needing me specifically as they asked for me AND trying to field some incoming calls! It was insanity! It pretty much didn’t let up until we shut the doors at 4 Pm, either! I seem to be stuck in the adrenaline rush and am having trouble stop! 🙄
Anyway, I’m glad the workday is done. We will be heading out to Good Friday services at 6:20 tonight.
In the meantime, these pics are from around this time in 2021. Things you might see in the forest! Enjoy!

That’s it for today. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! 🙏🌏🙏

BSB John 19:16-37
Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away. Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read:
JESUS OF NAZARETH,
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture:
“They divided My garments among them,
and cast lots for My clothing.”
So that is what the soldiers did.
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.” Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus
(Psalm 22:1–31; Matthew 27:45–56; Mark 15:33–41; Luke 23:44–49)
After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
Jesus’ Side Is Pierced
(Zechariah 12:10–14)
It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.” And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
