This song really captures where I am right now. And it reminds me of the hope that I cling to, that the dead can be reborn and God can bring beauty out of the ashes and the struggles of our lives!

Where is the hope?
After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night,Continue reading “Where is the hope?”

When it’s his turn, St. Peter looks at his ledger and says, “Your life was an unmitigated disaster. OneContinue reading “St. Peter joke…”

After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt thatContinue reading “Need”
