In that moment of fear

Boston, MA and West, TX will, for many, be the sum and total of last week.  Throw in a cup of disappointment in Congress' decision about background checks for gun ownership and 1/2 cup of 'incredible' for the Justice of the Peace who was so angry at being held responsible for his own actions he murdered the DA, his wife and the Asst DA....and you have a recipe for despair.

Last Sunday.....tomorrow....and for Sundays to come, people of faith will gather and look to God for a word of hope in our darkness.  Then we will share a meal that is grounded in a sacrificial love.  We may not truly understand the breadth of this gift of merciful pouring out, but we are eternally grateful to be recipients of this grace. 

Grace in the face of evil.  Life rising up out of death.  It is the resurrection.
