Hey, happy Palm Sunday.

Next week is Easter.

I can't believe it.

April 13th, here we are.

Thank you for watching this content.

And I want to jump right in. I want to talk to you today about grief.

Now, if you're just jumping in this week, last week we began a collection of sermons on the subject of hope,

entitling these talks, how hope works, particularly how hope works in the midst of doubt, grief, fear. And on Easter Sunday

next week, we're going to talk about eight days after Easter Sunday because frankly, I relate more

to the eight day after situation than even Easter Sunday. So we'll talk about that next week,

and I'm super excited about that. And am I going to lie to you? We're talking about grief today.

And so I wore probably the comptiest sweater. I have, truth be told, I worked in the yard yesterday in this sweater.

And I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I set up a bird bath yesterday and sat outside.

It was actually a bird bath I discovered on the side of my home that was being used for like a holding for a hose a water hose i almost forgot the term

water hose that's embarrassing anyways i work at the yard a lot as you can tell and i wore this sweater all

day and um carried this old bird bath filled it with water and the birds came you guys they actually came to the bird bath, filled it with water, and the birds came, you guys.
