palm sunday

it was april fool's day.

we walked through the prophesy,

we dealt with the temptations of christ...and ourselves,

we watched as palm sunday went from parade to riot,

and we experienced the stations of the cross.

may you have hope

as you realize that you too yell hosanna

and crucify.

as you realize that life is about moments...

one moment crying out in adoration

and the next turning your back on love.

may you have hope

as you seek out the tempter.

as you acknowledge that we each deal

with our own humanity...

with hungering of belly and soul,

with belief that we can do it alone-

independent of help and love,

that it is us that can will existence.

may you have hope

as you sit with christ.

as you eat the last meal.

as he washes your calloused feet.

as you fall asleep despite his begging.

as you then abandon him,

and as we all gather together

to hold the hammer and nails.

have hope

for, despite our failures

despite our disappointments

despite our brokenness

he will rise again

bathed in glory.

your hope has not been in vain.
