On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles

Today is Good Friday. But what happened today? Why is it important? And why is it called Good? Constructing a strict hour-by-hour timeline of Good Friday is a bit of a puzzle because the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) use different methods of keeping time. However, by harmonizing these accounts, we can create a chronological flow of the 24 hours leading from the Last Supper to the Burial. The Late Night (Thursday Night – Friday Early Morning) • 12:00 AM – 2:00 AM: The Agony in the Garden After the Last Supper, Jesus retreats to the Garden of Gethsemane. He experiences intense emotional agony while his disciples repeatedly fall asleep. • 2:00 AM – 3:00 AM: The Betrayal and Arrest Judas Iscariot arrives with a mob. Jesus is identified with a kiss and arrested. The disciples scatter in fear. • 3:00 AM – 5:00 AM: Religious Trials Begin Jesus is taken first to Annas (the former High Priest) and then to Caiaphas (the current High Priest). During this window, Peter denies knowing Jesus three times before the rooster crows. • 5:00 AM – 6:00 AM: The Sanhedrin’s Verdict At daybreak, the full Jewish council (the Sanhedrin) officially convenes. They find Jesus guilty of blasphemy and decide he must die, but they lack the legal authority to execute him under Roman law. The Morning (Friday) • 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM: First Trial Before Pilate Jesus is bound and led to Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor. Pilate finds no legal grounds for execution and, upon learning Jesus is a Galilean, sends him to Herod Antipas. • 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM: Before Herod Herod questions Jesus and mocks him, dressing him in a "royal" robe. Jesus remains silent. Herod sends him back to Pilate. • 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM: The Final Sentence Pilate attempts to release Jesus by offering the crowd a choice between him and Barabbas. The crowd chooses Barabbas. To appease them, Pilate has Jesus scourged and then washes his hands of the matter, sentencing him to crucifixion. • 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM: The Way of the Cross Jesus is forced to carry his cross (the patibulum) toward Golgotha. Weak from the scourging, he stumbles, and Simon of Cyrene is pressed into service to carry the cross for him. The Crucifixion (Friday Midday) • 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: The Nailing to the Cross Jesus is stripped and nailed to the cross between two thieves. He utters the first of his "Seven Last Words," asking for forgiveness for his executioners. Soldiers gamble for his clothing. • 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM: The Darkness A supernatural darkness covers the land for three hours. This is the period of Jesus’s greatest physical and spiritual suffering. • 3:00 PM: The Death of Jesus Jesus cries out, "It is finished," and gives up his spirit. At this moment, the veil of the Temple is torn in two from top to bottom, and an earthquake occurs. The Evening (Friday Night) • 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM: The Pierced Side To ensure he is dead, a Roman soldier pierces Jesus's side with a spear; blood and water flow out. Joseph of Arimathea goes to Pilate to request the body. • 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: The Burial Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus hastily wrap the body in linen and spices. They place Jesus in a new, hewn-out rock tomb nearby because the Sabbath (which begins at sundown) is approaching. • 6:00 PM – Midnight: The Silent Sabbath The stone is rolled across the entrance of the tomb. The disciples go into hiding, and the women observe the location of the tomb, planning to return with more spices once the Sabbath ends. It is called Good Friday, because although Jesus suffered a horrendous death, His willing sacrfice created a path of reconciliation between man and God. In Old English, "good" historically carried the definition of "holy" or "pious". Therefore, Good Friday is synonymous with "Holy Friday," which is still used in many languages.

Dear @MLB... The Utah market has a total of like 11 combined fans of the Rockies and the Diamondbacks. Please stop considering this state part of the blackout areas for BOTH teams so that we can watch all of the baseball teams we actually do care about. Thanks, bye.

@TrevMcKendrick Sports highlights. Can hardly justify watching a 3.5 hour football game anymore when the 15-minute YouTube summaries show all of the key plays and more.

Genuinely curious, what do you all watch on YouTube on your tv?

As a side note, four Old-Testament-themed songs that did NOT make it into the new batch of hymns: 1. Noah Got Me Good / The Unicorn's Lament 2. Melchizedek Boogie 3. Manna-Eater (Holland-Oaks co-written) 4. Deuteronomy, Deuterono-you

This should be a bigger story. China offered Liu millions of dollars to flip to skating for them because her dad is Chinese. She & her dad said hell no because they believe in democracy in China. Meanwhile Eileen Gu, born & raised here, took millions to flip to compete for China.

Coach K: Steph, we'll give you $4 million in NIL to come play for us at Duke. Steph: Okay, that sounds great. I accept.

Four types of people at every company now yes, people get 10x better when the go from bottom right to top right but also, people get 10x worse when they go from bottom left to top left

Tyrese Haliburton on the moment he realized he wasn’t playing in the Olympics 😭 “We’re in the back doing film and we have the team meeting where we acknowledge that all 12 guys can not play. Steve starts talking everybody can’t play, Bron is talking how he didn’t play in the 04 Olympics that much, Kd is over there saying we’re all 12 all stars, everybody is good. I’m sitting there listening and I’m like yeah. As we start film I’m like, but who are they talking about? I’m looking around like, he’s not talking about him, he’s not talking about him, I’m like ahhh, they talking bout me!” (Via @mindthegamepod)

My mind keeps coming back to this sobering quote from General Conference. As a people, this is where I think we fail hardest.

Daughter’s school has announced a 2-hour delay on Tuesday in light of the Hoosiers playing for a national championship. The headmaster puts into brief but eloquent words why sports and community matter in general and why this Indiana team matters so damn much.

😁🤷‍♂️

@SWENGDAD Married with kids tip: Sephora is exactly what she wants now.

But remember, it just means more in the SEC

This is the weirdest #Survivor final Tribal Council pitch to the jury I have ever seen!

@MrSmokinUte Oh man. They’re all brutal, for different reasons. But what a show. No matter how much we think we’re grateful for doctors and modern medicine, it’s not enough.

The Pitt season 1 episode 8 Don't watch.
