The In-between
Yesterday was Good Friday. Tomorrow is Easter. It’s in the in-between when there is much chaos and uncertainty. For those who followed Jesus, there is pain, turmoil, heartache, and many questions being asked. Like anything else in our lives, the time between two events in our lives can be a little unsettling. Patience can be a virtue but it’s very human to lose a little faith while waiting. As Tom Petty once sang “The Waiting Is The Hardest Part”. Sunday is Coming but getting through Saturday will be tough.
Good Friday, In The Name Of Love
Today is Good Friday which is the day in which Jesus Christ was crucified. Considering all the bad things that people do why would a good man like Jesus die a painful and shocking death so that people would have an avenue for life everlasting? I believe it’s all about love. Jesus taught us to love one another, love our neighbors as ourselves and so much more. He healed the sick, fellowshipped, got angry, and did so many more things all in the name of love. We are all worthy of that love. No matter who you are, who you love, people of all races and faces and who you have been in your past it’s that sacrificial love that matters the most. So this is indeed a Good Friday where we celebrate love. As U2 sings once more in the name of love.
Getting Holy Week Ready
Today at church we made Palm Sunday crosses and stuffed Easter eggs for Holy Week celebrations. It’s going to be a busy week at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church as we conclude Lent and welcome Easter.

Easter 2023 Reflection
He has risen, now what? The celebration of Easter is perpetual. God’s people cannot just show up on Christmas and Easter because the faith of Christians is a challenge to be active, communal, and loving. It requires believers to love as we are loved by Jesus.
God is good and I am down with that sentiment. But are his people? Not always but that is what forgiveness and love are about. That is the power of resurrection. God loves his people and we have to be reminded that love overcomes a lot of stuff.
Remember the love of the returning Christ is also a call to resist the evils of fear, hate, and other things that do great harm to our friends and neighbors. Be yourselves but be the best you can with a little help from fellow misfits like Jesus.
