The greatest "storm before the calm" is the week leading up to Easter. What begins as an exciting parade at the kickoff of a festival shortly spins into a violent mob. Jesus goes from hero to victim and even public enemy in just a few days, eventually standing before the Roman ruler beaten and abused. Some crowds celebrating Jesus' arrival, others gathered to demand his death. We feel the pull of the crowds, too - sometimes toward good things and sometimes toward bad. Instead of always shifting, should we be stable in something more sure? Storms move us this way and that - but there is calm when we know what to cling to.
