Funny how in this Holy Week, a time that's supposed to be calm and peaceful, seems anything but. Thousands of deadlines seem to pop up and threaten to steal our joy, if we let them. To paraphrase the great Chuck D (love you, too, Flavor Flav) we've got to fight the powers that be on this one. We must do what we can to carve out space to be filled by God's message of grace and peace and hope during this special week. It's a battle to do it to be sure, but very much worth it.
I ran across this paragraph from a Max Lucado devotional that says it better than I ever could:
"If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior."
May you and yours have a most joyous and blessed Christmas and 2010!
And yes, I just name-checked Flavor Flav and Max Lucado in the same blog post. That's how I roll.
