Everybody loves a parade.

Today the Procession will start, the devout, and the curious, the people who thought themselves to be important, and the ordinary people shall begin to wend their way through Jerusalem's streets, trying to force God's hand...the politicians of that day and age, much like those of today, all were trying to claim God was in their corner...Some were bewildered, some confused, there were people who felt disappointed in this man called Jesus, because He didn't seem to be interested in what THEY thought He should say or do...

In 1993, the girls and I learned that in an instant life can change, and in a very real sense we learned that one cannot get to Easter's dawn, without standing and bearing the suffering of Calvary's Cross!  On Ash Wednesday Phyllis was very much alive in our midst, by the dawn of Easter she was with the Lord.  As the Procession begins, how can we know where it causes us to go, if we take Him seriously, and if we promise to follow Him...Where shall he lead me this week?

Dad, indeed, this week is as alive and full of meaning and possibility for transformation as it ever has been! Thinking of you today.
