Life is Difficult (S12 Episode28)

<p>Friends, the season of Lent is upon us, a six-week season of preparation leading up to Easter. For each week during Lent, we will explore a different Lenten theme through Scripture, stories, song, art, and film. For this week and this Sunday, we are reflecting on how "life is difficult." Glenn Pascoe will join us with a reflection, as well as to give us some more information about One4Another.   For those who want a piece of art to reflect on, check out Andrew Wyath's Christina's World. I have made this my background screen on my computer to reflect on during the week. I will be referencing this work on Sunday.   Our Nexus musicians have also compiled a list of songs that explore the theme.  You can find that playlist on Apple Music <a href='https://music.apple.com/.../life-is.../pl.u-gxblM8xuMzWzM'>here</a> or on Spotify <a href='https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3mAlcOf41dU4fZCX30ej42'>here</a>. Specifically, I will be reflecting on <a href='https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3mAlcOf41dU4fZCX30ej42'>this song</a> for Sunday.   For those interested in film, I will be referencing Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man this Sunday as it brings two very opposing understandings of our world into a beautiful and haunting conversation. In my estimation, this may be the greatest documentary film of all time. You can find the trailer <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWA7GtDmNFU&ab_channel=MovieclipsClassicTrailers'>here</a>. For a more intimate portrait of the difficulties, and beauty, of domestic family life, I can't recommend Minari highly enough. It is a gorgeous film that will stay with you long after you have watched it. You can find the trailer <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ0gFidlro8&ab_channel=A24'>here</a>.   For those of you looking for a prayer aid during Lent, <a href='https://4d65439fd0a9031bb827-1df6fa3a66b25f8caab8c4f76dd444c6.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/uploaded/m/0e9764837_1579793736_morning-liturgy-2020-website-version.pdf?fbclid=IwAR26ifCCSfjKFaWgCN59EaY2UqZbzKJ4BKjEO8yHTSwOF67KVbGjK2b7V8A'
