Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ died for us!!!" I am so thankful Jesus went the distance!!!

I grew up in a tradition that generally did a broad jump from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. I later spent some years in a different tradition and really *experienced* the grief of Good Friday. But I don't especially want to do that, every year! Particularly when we remember His death every time we take communion--which, for some of us, is every week. And yet, I know that there can be no Easter celebration, without Good Friday. Sigh! I admit it: I have a hard time with Good Friday.
