Thoughts in the Night

As we were nearing the end of our big drive, in the wee, wee hours of the night, I was listening to my mp3 player to keep me awake at the wheel. We put my U2 Singles CD on it (the CD was a very surprising and thoughtful gift from Beulah for Christmas back in 2007) and it was fun to hear Bono whispering in my ear, keeping me calm and focused. And then while listening to "Pride," I heard the words, "One man betrayed with a kiss," and I was reminded of the whole reason for Easter and of the reality of Jesus Christ's life, betrayal, atonement, death and resurrection. I felt so grateful for His sacrifice for me and I know that I need to be a better follower.
