From today’s reading…

Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come

On Dec 19, 1998, Nick Williams hit the slopes at Squaw Valley in California for a couple of hours of fun.

It was a nice day so he wore a Dallas Cowboys jacket and little other gear that would help him survive two nights on the mountain in a blizzard with temperatures between minus 19 and minus 50 degrees.

He even stepped through ice into a creek that froze his feet just to add insult to injury.

That bond between father and son is powerful.

Now multiply that by the universe and you’ll start to understand the love between The Father and The Son. Between The Bridegroom and The Bride, His Church, which is comprised of you and me, with Jesus as the head.

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.

Now go sell something.
