So, let's just say I have a hard time letting go of things that are sentimental. Or could be re-used. Or look pretty. I think I get this from my parents, who are themselves hoarders collectors.

I am, at the moment, rummaging through a box of things from my time spent in East Asia (yes, I do realize that I've been back two years), trying to decide what is junk and what is worth scrapbooking. I do believe I've just stumbled upon a treasure.

The following is from the "Wild Animal Park" in the city I used to live in. It is classic East Asia, and it makes my heart happy to read it:

Oh man, I mean, you just can't make that up. Thanks for a laugh EA.

I am Barabbas. I am the angry crowd.

"Now it was the governor's custom at the Feast to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, 'Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?' For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him...

'Barabbas,' they answered.

'What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?' Pilate asked.

They all answered, 'Crucify him!'...

Pilate...took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. 'I am innocent of this man's blood,' he said. 'It is your responsibility!'

All the people answered, 'Let his blood be on us and on our children!'

Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified."

(Matthew 27:15-18, 21b-22, 24b-26)

I am Barabbas---I am released, while Jesus is flogged and crucified.

I am the angry crowd---Jesus' blood is on my hands, but He has made me clean by covering me with His blood.
