Holy Saturday



This day I wait uneasy.
I am suspended between the fierceness of Good Friday and the glory of Resurrection Sunday.
Uncomfortable
Expectant
Still shaking from the “Goodness” of yesterday, I am forced to linger here. 
Between the echoes of pounding nails and the shouts of an empty tomb,
Between the power and the promise,
I wait.

Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
Have mercy on me

    Uncomfortable, uneasy, in between. Yes. Right there with you.
