"The rich are those who have gambled and won. The poor are those who have gambled and lost. And the miserable are those who have never gambled at all."

Psst…Sunday’s Coming
Good Friday as a holiday has always bothered me. As a musician, I love the angst. The somber attitude. The darker songs. The melancholy. But, it was all a bit silly for me.
Are we just pretending we don't know what's going to happen on Sunday? Are we merely trying to trick ourselves?
Then, a few years ago, it hit me. We don't grieve out of fear the resurrection may not occur. I grieve because I put Him there. He not only made this sacrifice FOR me, but BECAUSE of me. It's my fault.
I grieve today for what I have done. And I celebrate the grace we have been offered.
