I’m sitting poo;side up here in Northern Florida at the moment. Potted plants line two sides of the pool, most in bloom. One seemed to stand out. Turns out it’s a Crown of Thorns. They grow down my way too, but I’ve never paid attention to them. Blood red flowers and thorns to die from; got me to thinking. They grew in Palestine too, in AD33, and became imortalised in time because of their use at Golgotha. You might call it pain on pain, you might call it a great symbol of man’s inhumanity to man, you might call it the ultimate agony. Now we have our latter day Tiberius scattering Crown of Thorns among us as if he were in Puerto Rico tossing paper towels. “Yes Virginia” evil people exist; you betcha!
