conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

palm sunday and a blog fast

The children of the church have been "enjoying" a media fast this Lent. Each family was to choose a week in which there would be no home internet or TV use. Astounding. This was the kids' own idea. In solidarity I have chosen this week to mark my fast. There will be no Monday videoblog. I will not be checking e-mail at home...only at the office. I will not be blogging, myspace-ing or facebook-ing all week. There. I said it.

It's been a huge week. One of the Girls has been in full swing. I've had very little sleep...getting home at 2am will do that to a guy. And...

Well, John died. John is our choir director's husband. He had been wrestling with liver cancer for many months. He passed away this morning at 4:00am. I'm a little overwrought. The choir is as well. What a day to shout "Crucify him!"

Indeed...Hosanna, loud Hosanna!

Today is Palm Sunday...the proud beginning to a miraculous end. We'll finish our service in the middle of the story though. Christ's death is a difficult place to reside. But it's the middle of the story. It's the middle of the story. The story is not done.

I'll see you all after Easter. May God bless you and your families. Peace and all good things be yours.
