We will ALL face times in our life when we mourn. Jesus never says to "buck up". Rub some dirt on it and move on. Instead, in the midst of the mourning, we experience comfort. In the middle of the loss, we have a greater gift.

Are we able to respond to the call with the bravery and obedience of these?

But what does it mean to repent?

What is it like to be all alone and yet perfectly safe?

Jesus didn't play little league baseball, but his Father was certainly proud!

Our reading this week comes from Mark 1:1-8. Today we focus on the first verse of this passage.
