A Day of Waiting
Holy Saturday makes space for all of us
May Holy Saturday be quiet and peaceful. May Easter Sunday be full of joy and feasting. May you make space today to sit with whatever is unknown, uncomfortable, or unresolved in your life. May you look ahead to tomorrow’s topsy-turvy dawn with the trust of hope.

I’ve written something new for you. After Easter: A Monday Morning Series will bring you an extra essay each Monday morning for the seven weeks of Easter. An invitation to keep asking: how do we make sense of what happened? What does Easter mean for us the morning after—and every day that follows?
I love the Resurrection stories in Scripture and wanted to dwell with them longer. So we’ll dive into the Gospel of John each Monday. I’ll share a short reflection & some gorgeous art on the Resurrection encounters. I hope it will be a gift for your Easter. If you’d like to join us, you can become a paid subscriber here:
Or if you want to pray through every day of Easter, you can get your copy of Risen: 50 Ways to Live Easter for a full devotional with Scripture, prayers, and reflections for all 50 days of the Easter season.
