Yesterday was Good Friday. Tomorrow is Easter. It’s in the in-between when there is much chaos and uncertainty.

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.

Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter.

To all celebrating may this be a time of Holy reflection and keeping the events of this week in your thoughts.
