Its Wednesday
hump day
middle day
nothing day
just a day
another day like so many other days
no unique meetings
no new adventures
no new tasks
just the same ole, same ole
its Wednesday
I wonder what Wednesday was like for Jesus
Hanging out in Jerusalem
hanging half way between Palm Sunday and Good
Friday
what was it like
going through that day
teaching, talking
listening to the whining of his disciples
the family squabbles of the twelve
what was it like wandering the dusty streets
and seeing all those around him
going through business as usual
while knowing what was about to happen
knowing he was going to die
no wonder the parables from those days
were so pointed, and cryptic
he was speaking to a world
that was walking in it’s sleep
it is Wednesday
will I walk through this day
with my eyes and heart and mind open
or will I took walk through this day
this life
through this in between time
between the magnificent defeat
and the coming of the kingdom
in my sleep?
