The Mighty Hudson

I'm cruising up the Hudson en route to Poughkeepsie, where I'll perform Journey to the Garden tomorrow morning.

In my rehearsal this morning I connected in a very deep way Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane with his final words on the cross: "Take this cup/Your will be done" and "Why have you forsaken me?/Into your hands I commit my spirit." What a gigantic (too small of a word) sacrifice.

Pray I can communicate some element of that sacrifice in a deep way, and that the piece will make a lasting impression of the great love it represents.

In Christ alone,
Rich
