Good Friday

I don’t write very much on this blog about my faith. I’m not sure why.

But Easter is here.

The Tenebrae service is one of my favorite services of the year. Twelve candles, each representing events leading to Christ’s entombment. Twelve Scriptures, a candle extinguished one by one after each reading. Until the room is dark. And silent. And you leave, feeling the separation, seeing nothing but shadows.

Thankfully the story isn’t finished on Friday. The church joins together again Sunday morning to celebrate Christ’s defeat of death.

I don’t know what your faith is. Maybe it’s different than mine. But have you thought about what you believe? We’re all going to a tomb one day (not a happy thought, but true). God promises us if we seek him, we’ll find him.

I’m signing off the blogosphere for the next three days. Ron and I are spending the long weekend with some dear friends of ours. Celebrating love. Life. Seeking God.

Happy Easter.
