The In-Between, A Pre-Easter Reflection

The in-between is what tests one’s faith. We all live in the in-between. Today is where Jesus’ crew has no idea about what is to happen. Their fledgling movement was being tested. Tom Petty sings “The Waiting Is The Hardest Part” and Jesus’ followers are waiting to see what the future holds for them and so much more.

What happened the day before is probably rattling them emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. One has to think there is a lot of grief and grieving happening, especially with Mary, his mom. Just think about when Jesus power went live at that wedding feast just three years earlier, and now he is gone. Or so they thought.

Jesus resurrection is going to blow the minds of many. That stone will move soon. Scripture tells us some things, but there is always more to the story.

A Good Friday 2025 Reflection

Today is Good Friday and it’s a day of political violence that somehow feels relevant today. It’s remembering a bloody day where one man gave everything for everyone then, now and forever.

The violence inflicted upon Jesus was brutal. It doesn’t make sense, none of it does. Jesus was fulfilling his mission and the greatest act of love he could give for humanity.

I think the power of love that we see on Good Friday is what Christ wants us to reflect. It’s not about power over people it’s about liberation and giving extravagantly to a hurting world that needs it most.

A Final Holy Gathering

Tonight is the night where Jesus and his crew were in the Upper Room hanging out like brothers do. They were gathering for the last time, having bread and wine and other stuff, probably. Jesus washed feet too in order to take care of those who he loved and sacrificed their lives to follow him. Everything as about to go down and Jesus was there keeping his cool while his heart and mind was racing. I think we can put ourselves there in the room where it happened because every person who has followed Jesus is in an upper room of their own. Jesus is waiting until he is arrested to face his toughest assignment that is to come the very next day.

From My Local Newspaper – America Is Out of Order

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.
