Personal log, 210904.10--We arrived at our second of four stops in the Spiderweb Galaxy the other night. Since then, we have been scanning a medium-sized blue star in the middle of the outer ring of systems. Soon, we will be Leaping to our third stop, bringing us further into this galactic oddity....
I didn't see Betty on Wednesday, but I did see her yesterday and today. Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of her through the window of her department. Today, I saw her in the parking lot as she was heading for her car while Pat and I were leaving work for the week. We (Pat and I) were both amused to see her talking on her cell phone as she was heading for her car.
Today is Good Friday. For us Christians, it is a day of reflecting on the death of Jesus. I had to be at work today (tax season), but I still found time to think about the events leading up to Jesus' death and the events following His resurrection. I was thinking about how let down (by other people) Jesus had to have felt the day of His Crucifixion. First, His disciples kept falling asleep while He was praying in the garden the night before. Second, His disciples fled when He was arrested. Third, Peter denied knowing Him three times mere hours after insisting to Jesus that he was willing to die with Him. Fourth, Jesus' own people (the Jews) chose a rebel/robber (Barabbas) over Him for release from Roman captivity. Finally, the Jews insisted on Jesus being crucified, despite Pilate's repeated claim that Jesus had done nothing worthy of death.
