Can't we just sit and remember??

Friday May 20th: On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. They were not overjoyed with what they heard next however. We want to huddle in our little space and dream about the good old days. Remember when Jesus fed all those people, remember when Jesus road into Jerusalem remember when? Remember when Wednesdays nights were always for Church activities, remember when everyone was expected to go to one church or another, remember when we could use words like baccalaureate and people knew what we meant? Jesus is about to tell the disciples to move on and get over it, they have work to do. Jesus is about to tell us the same.
