Before moving on, I want to give a shout out to Ave Maria University. Thank you for being a beacon of light in our world.
Secondly, I want to give a shout out to Kasey. I would highly recommend that you follow her on Facebook at God Nod. She also has a youtube channel.

How did Palm Sunday services impact you? Two Gospels--one being the Passion narrative--create quite a picture for us. There is a triumphal entry and then a quick turn to "Crucify him!" Have we heard the story so many times that we are not seriously impacted by it? Were we just glad when the Passion narrative was finished so we could sit down? Did we exit church hurriedly at the end because it ran a little over 60 minutes? After all, even the disciples were only asked to watch one hour with the Lord?
Regardless of how you answered those previous questions, now is the time to make plans for the rest of the week. How will you grow in love with the Lord during this Holy Week? Please don't miss the opportunity.
Will this week move us to tears because of a growing awareness of just how far short we fall living up to the glory of God? Or will it be just another week like any other? How will we open ourselves up to God's grace?
