We race through Easter. A long weekend, chance for a break. Maybe a trip to church ??? but then again, perhaps not. And to do that, we have to shield our eyes. We have to avoid looking at the cross.

You discover a lot about someone when you see how they behave and react under pressure. That???s when you see the real man or the real woman.

Back in the days leading up to that very first Easter, the Disciples were afraid. Petrified. There was a plot afoot to assassinate Jesus. That was bad enough. But were they in the firing line too?
