Pain Has No Mystery
it's clear that people have a hard time connecting the dots between the miracles. I often do. We’d all love to see and experience them, but they are difficult to grasp. Pain is the complete opposite; there is no mystery to pain; we all feel it. In this way, Good Friday becomes the place where life and faith intersect.
Death: Our Mutual Connection
Death is an erasure of creativity and potential. When someone you know dies, the plans you had with them…die with them, never to return. Death scribbles dark ink over our well written plans and dreams for the future.
On Your Worst Day
I think it’s important that we also take the time to recognize that in some circumstances, defeat is inevitable and we need to reckon with it. You can be a great leader and still lose. As a person of faith, this memory is appropriate on Good Friday. I hope it is for you as well.
