different...but good friday

good friday was weird. back in aus on good friday everything is pretty much closed. so what usually happens in my life on good friday is i get up, go to church, come home and eat hot cross buns. here, in the states, people work. and everything is open. so yesterday i got up, had a late breakfast, went and did grocery shopping with mum, had lunch, went to the shops, came home for dinner, then went to church and then came home and had hot cross buns. it made it very different. but the service was great. we had communion (in the salvos we don't do this on a regular basis so i find it very special when we do). that was when it again hit home to me that jesus died. on the cross. for me. it was a different, but a good good friday.

today we are doing something as a family, which could turn out to be something marvelous, or could turn out to be a stressful situation for us all. we are getting some family photos taken. yay. arrggghhhh. mum, being mum, thought that seeing as we aren't usually together as a whole family these days (this is only the second time in 3 and 1/2 years), wanted to get some pictures taken. i'll let you know how it goes.
