posted daily OVER THE NOON HOUR  (CST)

On the Christian calendar this day is known as "Good Friday," the remembrance of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  On this day God's love for all mankind became obvious.  The story does not end with Christ on the cross, but is followed our remembrance of Easter Sunday in which Christ was resurrected by the power of God.

God's blessing to all this Easter weekend.

[Note: There will not be an issue of LDN on Saturday in observance of Easter weekend.]
