It is such an odd quite moment. We just relived the most horrendous day possible and now just a deafening lull, waiting for the promise of tomorrow. We just are left to stew in our own juices without any outside influence, sort of back burnered.
Just got back from my Bible Guys class. We did some learning, some laughing. It is a good time for all of us. Last week I did the lesson and did the first half of chapter 9 0f Acts. This was the dramatic conversion of Saul (Paul) on the road to Damascus. Philip took over for me and did the second half today which was mostly about Paul now being persecuted for his new beliefs. The tables have turned.
Anyway, we laugh a lot in between trying to figure stuff out. Which seems like a pretty good balance. We can only handle so much learning and then we have to enjoy each other or maybe experience each other. It is kind of like this Saturday between things where we just have to ruminate, goof off or soak up. There is only so much good or bad the we can handle so we have to switch modes to keep our human thing going.
Well, I am going to get out in the sunshine, it’s calling me. Looking to warm up my bones. Miss you, love you, Felipe.
Happy Easter everyone!
The Lord is alive and wants to be sought among the living. After having found him, each person is sent out by him to announce the Easter message, to awaken and resurrect hope in hearts burdened by sadness, in those who struggle to find meaning in life…. As joyful servants of hope, we must announce the Risen One by our lives and by our love.
