Today seemed an appropriate day to begin. It's Good Friday, 2008 and it occurs to me that all that is worth saying exists in the light of what has been said, and done, today. This is the beginning of a new year. This is the new beginning of new beginnings. It is where the mystery of our lives finds its meaning. I want this blog to be a venue to for considering what it means, what it might mean, what it will mean to live within this meaning; to think about what it is to live as though what was celebrated today, in the shadow of the Cross, matters, as I (we) seek to learn and understand what living in a new light will look like.
We gathered at Kingsway-Lambton UC this morning to meet at the foot of the Cross, to ponder the sacrifice, to acknowledge the love of God. It was a tenebrae (shadows) service. It was appropriately solemn. It's good to know the next part of the story, as it turns our solemnity to anticipation--our quiet, awed submission into dancing for joy at the awesome love of God--love that passes all understanding.
Now we look towards Easter morning, as we once more approach the open tomb, amazed, and leave everything to run like Mary to tell the world. I want to tell the world about the wonder of servant love--I might even use words.
