Lenten journey: what happened here?

     After all my talk of betrayal, suffering, growth, death, and the roller coaster ride Jesus had us on, now he has gone and died. In a few calamitous days he was betrayed, denied and crucified and now it's over.  WHAT HAPPENED????

      Is that all there is? The Apostles ( and us? ) must have pondered this question, is that all there is? Such great talk, such wonderful news, miracles even ....and now?  was it all for nothing?
What the hell happened? Now He is gone.

       Today is waiting. Not unlike a loved one who dies today, we sit around and wait, mope, sit around shocked and ask, what will we do now? How will we put the pieces together and move on?

       Today we will have to go on. Perhaps we'll try to forget what happened and try to go on as usual.

       Today is waiting.
