I was hungry for Ash Wednesday this year, and for Maundy Thursday. My heart is so grateful that there’s this space and time in the church calendar to specifically as a place to sit with grief and darkness.

I do love your calling out Pippin’s response to Gandalf. It’s so brief and realistic and fitting.

Oh Shawn...I am just learning about your cousin’s death and about Leslie’s prognosis, and my heart is breaking for you all and for the Bustard family. I’m so sorry you are all walking through the Valley of the Shadow right now. What a Lenten season, and specifically a Holy Week, to be walking through. My prayers are with all of you.
