A tender Good Friday moment

    I hadn't intended to write twice in one day, but I had to capture, before I forgot, something Elijah said during Good Friday services. After a rough start of antsy kids, they settled down and 1/3 were listening and following along.  The passage of Matthew was read when Jesus said, "It is Finished." Anticipating the slamming of the Bible, the sanctuary turned black, and the bell choir began playing "Were You There." I was pleasantly surprised because I love this song and I've never heard the them play at this service before.  I was taking it all in, and Elijah leaned into me and quietly said, "Wouldn't it be cool if Jesus came back right now?"
   So cool.
