HERE WE ARE, deep in Holy Week and it is Good Friday today for those of us who walk the Christian path, our second most somber day in the church year. At least emotionally, we still have a long way to go til Easter Sunday. All of Lent has been in preparation for this day and this week. We will reach our own resurrection, but first, we are called to walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
