This morning, I took the kids to enjoy one of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's fabulous youth concerts.  As always, we reveled in the world of music this country has to offer.



 

But after a very busy week, we are really ready to slow down and focus on the events of Maundy Thursday through Easter.  In just a few minutes, we'll be headed out the door for a performance of potions of Handel's Messiah to help us begin the process of reflection...

 

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.  We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."   Isaiah 53:5,6
