Story of the Day
Listen! Listen carefully. It was quiet here in the dark and listening was easy. As the words were spoken; it was the only sound that could be heard. A group of us were gathered together in this dark place and the only source of light were our candles. Each one of us had a candle. One person asked us to listen to him. Listen carefully. We all turned. You could see the light of each person's candle light their face. Lit faces turned to the one voice that was speaking. He spoke of a time three days from now. A time when our small lighted candles would no longer be needed. He said in three days a great Light will shine through the walls of this cave we were trapped in. This Light would be so great that it could even lead us through the walls we were trapped within. On the third day we wouldn't need our small lights. On the third day we would be able to walk through these walls. At some point, as we passed through the walls, rock and flesh would occupy the same space. On the third day dimensions would combine. Dimensions together, like a rock passing through water. Our flesh would pass through these stone walls. Listen! Listen carefully and see the Light that shines beyond these stone walls of sin, death and evil. Listen! See! Listen and see carefully!

Prayer of the Day
Lord, I hear Your Voice. I hear the Voice of Jesus. I hear Your Voice from the cloud on top of the mountain. I hear Your Voice behind the stone of the tomb. In three days You appeared. A great Light from behind that tombstone of sin, death and the devil. You alone defeated evil. You alone are Savior. Let Your love and compassion shine brightly beyond my stone cold heart. Let it shine through my sin. Let Your love and compassion shine through me and through my family and brightly shine out into the Kingdom you call me to this day. You are God! Your steadfast love endures forever! ---Amen
