I was riding in the car listening to the radio and the song, Jireh by Maverick City Music and Elevation Worship came on, one of my favorite songs. As the song was playing, I was thinking of what I could write a blog post about. I had been feeling the desire to write something for Holy Week. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about. This week I decided to read scriptures of events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and death. I figured something would come from that but I got nothing.

With this pandemic, it has brought out the sighs, cries, fears, and anxieties of many across the world.
