Project 366...

Today is Good Friday, and I had to work. On the way home, I thought if I could catch a bird in flight, I'd make it my photo of the day because that's how I feel. The effort was wasted on finches (maybe) hiding in trees, but the periwinkles are blooming and a bumble bee had found them. That would be a good one, too except the pictures turned out fuzzy when I enlarged.

In an effort to identify a particular shrub by its fruit, I got tangled in a thorny vine. I took a picture of it.

As I sorted through the various photos, I kept returning to the vine, and the picture became clear. The red-tinged thorns say it all, but words from Isaiah set to music run through my mind...

"But He was wounded for our transgressions...He was bruised for our iniquities...surely He bore all our sorrows...and with His stripes we are healed..."

Even I...even you...
