On this Good Friday, I want to wish everyone the peace and joy that comes from the knowledge of renewal that this day and Easter and Passover represent. Today’s JohnKu carries that message.

Good Friday by John W. Howell Β© 2022

No matter your belief,

This day gives you a sign that . . .

A fresh start is here.

I hope you all have a peaceful weekend.
