Strong storms were in the forecast for the afternoon so I took a walk in the morning. I thought it would be good to get a little exercise and some meditation time. It was a bit windy but pleasant. This afternoon was not as peaceful. As I drove to church for the 3:00 P.M. service it became dark as night. Eventually, the sky opened up and poured. It was an eerie sight as the area was placed under a tornado warning and eight other watches and warnings. The waves were growing this morning before the storm even arrived. It is a privilege to be part of leading God's people in prayer during these holy days of the Paschal Triduum. I hope you are experiencing an outpouring of God's abundant grace in a multitude of ways. In my 20 years as a deacon, this was the largest cross I had ever carried in the Good Friday procession. I can't even begin to imagine the agony of our Lord during his carrying of the cross.
