Rev. Dr. Michelle Morris
Mark 16:1-8
The women hear the news of Jesus’s resurrection… and then they run away and tell no one out of fear. But we do know the story. So at some point they must have overcome their fear. Courage is not the absence of fear – it is facing it and refusing to let it stop us.
