Thank God It's Friday
Thank God It's Friday: Encountering the Seven Last Words from the Cross | William H. Willimon
36 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Christ's seven last words from the cross have long been a source of reflection, challenge, and soul-searching. These simple statements contain the full range of human emotions and divine self-revelation: grief, compassion, despair, forgiveness, physical need, the promise of redemption. In many ways they embody the core of the gospel. In this brief book one of today's most noted churchpersons and preachers confronts the reader with the seven last words's claim on her or his life. Written with the clarity, depth, and insight that are Will Willimon's trademark, this book offers afresh the challenge and grace of the message of the Crucified One.

2. Is The Great British Baking show a series? It‘s awesome and I watch very little TV.
3. Not intentionally unless the Red Sox are in it.
4. Probably a red lentil kale soup from Daphne Oz. Produce now at the farmer‘s market is amazing!
5. The Racing Form and a book or two to learn something he needed to know.

2. Bar Harbor was in my very distant past.
3. Apple pie by a nose.
4. Yes, but all days are the same when one isn‘t working. ☹️ will make more beeswax wraps, reusable produce bags, and fancy bookmarks.
5. Sure Nuff!

Shvonne What are beeswax wraps? 5y
Dolly @Shvonne Wraps are beeswax (and a couple other ingredients) impregnated cloth that can take the place of plastic wrap and foil. They stick to themselves and sides of containers to seal. You can fold them into envelope shapes and wrap snacks like nuts or sandwiches. They are reusable and hopefully reduce the use of plastics. Selling them will help defray the cost to attend my favorite event-an herbal conference. 🌱🌸 5y

Cinfhen It‘s like your academic plus one @CouronneDhiver 😜 7y
bentchbites @Cinfhen oh, so it‘s something like an Elective? Idk, PH schools/universities dont have the same system, i guess. We only have majors. 7y
See All 10 Comments
Melissa_J @CouronneDhiver I think it does. I have a minor and went to university in Canada. You just need to take a specific number of credits in one area, but not as many as is required for your major. 7y
Cinfhen Yes; that‘s a good way of explaining a minor @bentchbites Not everyone chooses a minor...I honestly had enough credits in the communication field to use it as a minor. I also graduated college in 1987 so things probably have changed.... 7y
Reviewsbylola Lazy weekend is what I‘m hoping for too! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y
CouronneDhiver Well, maybe that‘s the difference - I went to college (not university) and my program of study was pre-determined except for one elective. @Melissa_J 7y
Melissa_J @CouronneDhiver there you go. That makes sense. Although I find it confusing that university and college can mean the same thing in the US when they are different here. I also think that what you study can determine whether you can have a minor. Engineering for example has so many required courses that the course load may not allow for enough electives to have a minor. (edited) 7y
