Just a little note. Today in the Orthodox Church we read one of my favourite gospels. I love the story of the raising of Lazarus and could write on many aspects of this piece, but I won't. I will only speak about the end where Jesus call to his friend who is dead to come forth. While I may not be dead in its clinical sense, parts of me are dead or not alive, not turned toward that which will give me fullness of life. Just like Lazarus, I am called forth, yet somehow I would rather remain in tomb than live the fullness that life has given me. We are all called forth. Let us come forth and live.
