Expressing

sliGHTLY disappointed in True North tonight. 


As some of you know, we've been on a journey to the cross by visiting the stations of the cross. This week, week 5 of 6, we were to visit three stations - 

• 10: Jesus is Crucified 
• 11: Jesus Promises His Kingdom to the Thief on the Cross 
• 12: Jesus Speaks to His Mother and Disciple John. 

We didn't. 


I mean, yeah Pastor John touched on the Crucifixion but he said nothing about the other two stations. Instead he "revisited" the other eight stations that we have had set up. That is ok to do, don't get me wrong, but it would have been  more appropriate next week, week 6, at the conclusion of the series when Jesus has died on the cross, we're taking Christ off the cross and we're laying Christ in the tomb (which are the final two stations before Easter Sunday, station fifteen - Resurrection Sunday).


I don't know if Pastor John simply lost track of what he was to do or if he just didn't want to really cover those two stations. I personally believe that these are two of the most important stations and shouldn't have been forgotten about. I mean Jesus forgiving the thief on the cross, while in agony and suffering greatly; thinking of his mission and offering redemption to the sinner hanging next to him. And in the next breath sentence caring for his mother and beloved disciple and establishing the Christian "Family" as it is to be for ever and ever.


Ah well ... 

 ... get over it Monica, this isn't about you or for You nor does it concern YOU!
