\u201cConsider those first few days after you’ve lost someone and the liminality between their death and funeral. There\u2019s no closure yet, and mornings are reminders that the nightmare is real. It\u2019s hard to imagine how you\u2019ll face the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 Again and again, the sun rises on a new day, often without embrace or acknowledgment. The same is true of resurrection. Whether or not we discern what\u2019s happening, God is literally and figuratively turning the world around!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
