(Mark 14:37-38)
At the moment, ‘watch-and-pray’ feels more like ‘peek-around-the-corner-and-hope-I-make-it-out-alive.’ . It must have been far easier for James, Peter, John to fall into a numb sleep in the dark of that Garden than to stare down the paradox of crushing loss creating unimaginable gain. . The unknown in beholding the Cross whispers what-if’s, what-for’s how-to’s, dare-i-even-dream’s as the spirits willing war with the flesh failing.
