On Calvary’s hill, Golgotha,
three crosses, now empty
their shadows remain
down through the generations
Three crosses, a challenge,
the sacrifice of the Savior;
the choices made by the two
thieves
like us, each of them
sinners
Their choice, the same as we
face
to repent and follow Christ
to live our lives in glory
or follow the way of the
earth
eternal damnation our fate

This
Lenten Season, we are doing something a little different. We are doing Lenten
Dramas from: http://www.sermonsfromseattle.com/home.htm
It is called "The Voice of God". We are hearing conversations between
God and some of the characters that took part in Passion Week. It has been a
"moving experience" for all. . .
