I stepped outside this morning at 6:10am and was surrounded by a beautiful chorus. Birds were singing from what seemed to be every tree in the neighborhood.
Are they practicing their "Hosannas" for this Palm Sunday? Do they know something that we don't know or are they just joining with other Hosanna-Shouters as Jesus resolutely sets his sights on Jerusalem. I wonder ... will they fall deathly silent on Good Friday? Will their "Hosannas" turn into a chorus of "Hallelujahs" that fills the skies next Sunday, in the pre-dawn of Easter morning?
Today is Palm Sunday. Jesus asks, "Who do you say that I am?" It is a question to ask ourselves as we put down our palm branches at the end of the day and step into Holy Week.
