LUKE 24:2

 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, - Luke 24:2

I wonder why the stone had to be rolled away.  I guess if it wasn't rolled away, they wouldn't have known, but they would have had to roll the stone away to put the spices on the body.  Wait, how were they going to do that?  Women - more than 1, ok, they could do that.

Now I'm wondering if it would have been cooler if they got there and the stone was rolled away or if they moved the stone and they saw Jesus' cloths folded up on the ground and You were gone.  OK, I think it is the rolled away stone when they got there - nicely played!

I also picturing that awkward "going into a funeral" walk on the way to the tomb when no one is talking or talking only about somber stuff.  And then you see this stone moved out of the way.  You go from somber to shock to questioning if you're in the right place to questioning what is going on...

We've all been there.  Something not anticipated shows up and a well of emotions goes through us.  For me, it's usually negative.  I think of the worse case scenario.  But, with God, that is not the case.  He's the God that rolled away the stone.

GENESIS 13-18, MATTHEW 5-6

​The winter Metra crowd is a lot different!  People plying music without headphones, talking loudly - it’s like the L! I was looking forward...
