Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.
When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus* there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said,

Father, forgive them;
or they do not know what they are doing.

Luke 23:32-34

 

Deborah

 “No, my Lord!  No!”   The sound of my own anguished voice awakens me from a fitful sleep. Gasping for breath, I open my eyes and look around in confusion.  I recognize a darkened room of Susanna’s house in Jerusalem.  In the pale moonlight, familiar objects slowly form themselves; a chair, my sandals, a jug of water, my robe.  My heart continues to pound as a soft breeze moves through the open window.  I shiver.  My body is cold with the sweat of fear left by the images of my dream.

Were it only a dream!  I could cope then.  But this dream happened.
