This week, we look at the reality of grief and loss, how God enters our pain and, in doing so, reveals the promise.

I gleaned a lot on the Ezekiel reading from a sermon given by Rev. Fleming Rutledge at the Washington National Cathedral in 2008. Unfortunately, the sermon appears to no longer be available. But here is the link where I originally found it.
