Nobody talks about Easter Saturday, the long, gloomy day between Good Friday and Easter Morning that to the disciples must have felt like Hope had just been sealed off forever by a rock. But to me, that in-between Saturday is all about a rock that is really a door just waiting to be flung open once again by Love. Easter Saturday is Trust Day. And this is my Saturday Stone. Thank you for painting this, Barb Pearl. You didn’t know what it would become, but our dear Burt must have inspired you. He was always the best example of trusting in a new day. #Easter #journey #hope #love #TBAA #TouchedByAnAngel #inspiration #trust

Beaten, humiliated, rejected, tortured and taunted for preaching the gospel of love, for teaching acceptance of the stranger, kindness to the weak, hope for the lost, forgiveness to others and humility for our own failures. Condemned for sharing the truth that we are human and imperfect and we simply can’t save ourselves from ourselves without grace. Broken for the message that the death of our souls is worse than the death of our bodies. Executed for promising that three days can rebuild a temple or a life. Crucified for promising that three days will change…everything.  #EasterWeekend #GoodFriday #journey #crucifixion #threewoodencrosses #GospelofLove
