Watch the video below. Keep in mind that I shot this first thing in the morning, so you know how crazy I look when I wake up. Don't judge too harshly.

Oh, and I do have a life. I'm just testing out some awesome editing software that we will use next year in my language arts class. Enjoy. Again, don't judge too harshly! Morning face... yucky poo.

As we continue reading all the stories surrounding Christ's suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension (the Passion), we look deeply into our own lives and the sins we make as well.

A guilty man set free on the account of another..... Barrabas, an insane murderer set free while Jesus was brutally crucified. Watch this video below and reflect on several of its messages. How many times have we acted like Peter who denied Jesus or Barrabas, who got away with murder while someone else (maybe even Jesus) took the blame for the corruption we ignited?

For full credit, I need at least 5 fully thought out sentences written with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Have a beautiful Easter break. I hope this Lenten season made you a stronger and better person than you were on Ash Wednesday. 

May God continue to bless you.

Respond to this post by Thursday at midnight. You may use a story not read in class:
 What do the healing/ miracle stories mean to you personally? Is there one you especially relate to? What elements from the stories can symbolize issues and circumstances we face today?
