As I listened to the Easter story from the Gospel of Mark in church on Sunday, I was struck by the final words of the passage: So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they [...]
I can’t help but think about how hard it was to be Mary during Jesus’ last days. Here was her baby boy, all grown up, being ridiculed and accused. Bruised, beaten, and hung on a cross. What was she thinking as she watched it happen? Maybe she was remembering when [...]
I’ll never forget: I was newly married, and we went on a date to see the movie on opening night, Ash Wednesday. There’s nothing hand-holding about watching The Passion of the Christ together. And there was very little popcorn-eating during that movie. Nothing romantic about it, even though the entire [...]

Today the sacred day Good Friday joins with the secular day Earth Day. Good Friday is the day we remember and honor the suffering of Christ Jesus and his death upon the crucifix. It is of paramount importance in the Christian calendar. Good Friday along with Easter Sunday are the [...]
With Easter Sunday just around the corner, and the relevance it has Christians, I found myself feeling a bit more reflective than usual. So hunker down, boys and girls. I, for one, have always, always struggled with a sense of mediocrity. It’s certainly not the worst internal argument one can [...]

How do you celebrate it? How [...]
