People can be a pain.  Words can be harmful.  Love hurts.  There, I’m glad we cleared that up.  If you have been hurt by someone or you are grieving a loss you know how hard it is to move forward.  Outwardly you keep moving because life doesn’t stop for you but internally you may feel frozen.  Other people can sing “Let it Go” and tell you to get over it but let’s face it, some hurts are harder to get rid of than others.   And, frankly, we never get rid of some things.  The wound might heal but the scar remains and some days even the scar hurts!  As I studied our next passage in Acts I discovered many wonderful truths but I have been most affected by thinking about the effect of the death of Judas on the disciples.   He was their friend.  He had been “with them” through three of the most amazing years in human history.  They would have forgiven him, Jesus was alive!  As they grieved over their own doubts and failures, they surely experienced some pain over the loss of their friend.  While we learn about the way they replaced him we also learn about the way they moved on.  I really think it is possible to “move on” even when we can’t “get over it.”  The narrative in Acts is peppered with some principles that show the way.  I hope you’ll join us Sunday for worship, rejoicing, prayer and time in the Word…”wink, wink, wink…”
