Good Morning,
The writing today is a imaginative presentation of the happenings on Golgotha on the day n Jesus was crucified. The affect on soldiers, people and animals are presented in a creative way. And at the end of Linda Garrett's writing you will see how it all came together and Who had the final word that day. Linda wrote. "A soldier at the top of the hill leaned against his horse and was surprised the horse was shivering. Dogs moved close to the ground, slinking because of fear. Fear of what, they didn't know, and even if they could have known, would not have comprehended."
And we all know the wonder of the rest of the story.
God bless you during the days that will pass until April 12.

"INHUMAN COMPREHENSION"
"INHUMAN COMPREHENSION"
Written by
Linda Garrett
This day was
not like any other. Although hot as fire, the sky was peculiar color. Not blue,
but turning all sorts of yellows and shades new to earth. Animals all over
began to creep around sniffing to find a clue that would explain the changes in
the air and the ground and everything they depended upon to keep them safe.
They were
vaguely aware of humans seeming in turmoil themselves. Women were weeping
loudly, men were crying out, metal was clanging on metal. Dust was swirling
everywhere as the feet of many men and women moved upward on the street,
climbing, climbing toward the hill named Golgotha.
A cat slinked
past a frightened mouse without eve a glance. It's fur stretching as far from
it's skin as it could reach. Whiskers twitched , and eyes searched to find
answers to questions not even though of yet.
A dog howled with a pitch unheard of before, but those humans crowding
up the hill did' seem to notice.
A flock of
birds flew away from the hill as if it would net them and bring them to an
earth now as foreign to them almost as much as the alien-looking sky. Even the earth seemed to groan.
Along with the
people were a few horses that had shiny looking humans riding them. Men
gleaming in sweat and lots of leather along with the metal breast plates and
helmets which weighed heavy on the horses' backs. But the horses weren't noticing the weights
on their backs, they were skittishly climbing toward the hill of death and each
tried to veer away. But the men kept them on their course even as they were
controlling the crowds.
The animal
kingdom knew the King of Heaven and earth was passing by and they each paid
tribute in ways humans could never understand. How could they know death was
feeling triumphant?
The course was set and played out just the way it has to. As death moved closer, all the animals crouched or hid. Although as the sky continued to change and darkness moved in as a tide creeps closer to the shore, many of the animals began to nest for the night which was not night.

what, they didn't know, and even if they could have known, would not have
comprehended.
Then it was as
if the earth suddenly shifted and a clap of thunder terrified animals and
humans alike.........
And one voice was heard to say, "It is finished".
