Dear Church,
This month, half in Lent and half in Easter, I want you to remember to observe and honor both sides of Easter. The waiting and grief of Holy Saturday, when the disciples did not know for sure that resurrection was coming, and the joy and possibility of the Easter Season, when Christ walked the earth again before he ascended into heaven.
