Tonight is a historic evening as AEW Dynamite becomes the longest running professional wrestling program in Turner Broadcasting History. I am happy for all who have made this happen. I am thankful for the history of WCW Nitro who set the table for today’s pro wrestling on TV. Here is to many more episodes of Dynamite and Collision.
At this moment, America is out of order. Lots of things are being broken and people are not safe. It’s amazing how much crazy shit is going on. People are fighting back, but still there is a sense of hopelessness among many. One can only do what they can do to make things better. Stuff cannot be ignored anymore.
Today is my eleventh work anniversary at Blood Assurance, a Chattanooga based blood bank. It is hard to believe that I have been dialing for blood donors for this long. Today is about being thankful for the work and opportunities I have been given. My work here has been about saving lives and making a difference. Thanks to all my teammates past and present. Here’s to the future.
You know, Jesus went into this week knowing what was going to happen. He understood the assignment. I think those around him didn’t fully comprehend what was about to happen at the end of the week. The thing about holy week is to put oneself in the minds of the disciples, who will ask themselves on Friday what in the hell is going on. Some of this is political violence, but most of it is one person being obedient to his death. This is not a week of peace, it’s a week of feeling the chaos that is to come.
My Palm Sunday fit this morning. I helped serve communion this morning too at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. We are in the home stretch to Easter. I hope all who celebrate will have a mindful and spiritual one.
Today friends from church gathered to fold palms into crosses and fill Easter eggs in advance of Holy Week activities. Palm Sunday the palms will be received and used to signify Jesus entrance into Jerusalem. The Easter eggs will be hunted on Easter Sunday morning. Thanks to a good crew St. Peter’s Episcopal Church will be ready to go. My friends Easter is hard work but good work.
