But the other side has joy, and hope. In any given moment on side is face up. But’s it the same coin! I also know that one day, both sides will shine brighter than sun.

This service was awesomeeee. The ‘silence’ and the deep revelation ‘teacher along the way!’

My bride and I have been walking thru this every Lent for probably 10 yrs… What a rhythm. We NOW WAIT! Thanks for your obedience to follow and create space for this resting in His Love practice. I believe we can take others to where we haven’t gone and the depth and breadth of your work (thru grace) is powerful… 🙏🏼 🎁

Things that came up for me:
-In silence I hear Ben hammering the flagstone in the backyard. How similar it must have sounded as they hammered stakes into Jesus’ ankles and wrists…

-Agony for Jesus’ mother
-Song by Stevie Wonder, “Isn’t she lovely”

-My true identity is rooted in Christ, so I have nothing lose.

-Literally, nothing I could have done. He HAD to do it all.

-Get behind me, Satan.
I am yours, Lord. All of me.
