It's Friday, But Sunday's A-comin'

There's something very symbolic and correct about the events of this week, and how we are processing them.

Thanks, first of all, for all of the kind comments and prayers represented in the comments from my last post. Wendy & I are truly touched by the outpouring of support.

Today is Good Friday, the day we traditionally set apart to remember the Crucifixion of Jesus called the Christ. As the events of this week have played out in our own lives, Wendy & I see today as a day to bury all of the negativity and put it firmly behind us.

And, as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus with millions of Christians around the globe on Easter Sunday, there is a poignant sense of New Beginnings, New Life, New Direction for the Clan McAlpine as well.

I have been fasting from (among other things) television, DVD's, theatre, etc. Tomorrow night, I break my fast by watching "The Passion of the Christ", which I chose not to see during the hooplah surrounding its release a year ago. This time around, I felt that God wants me to break my media fast in this way.

It's Friday, as Tony Campolo famously said, but Sunday's a-comin'. We're eagerly awaiting the discovery of what happens next in our lives, as He leads and directs us.
