Ezekiel 37 - Dry Bones Come Alive

This is one of my favorite songs! Many years ago I was reading an article on "wierdest" Bible stories- and of course, Ezekiel 37 was on the top.
This second video is most of the reading in a very dramatic format (amazing, I might add) -

It was obvious that these 2 videos could make for a wonderful youth session.

The date that it will be presented lands during the last couple weeks of Lent this year, so I am working on pulling together the Resurrection metaphors.

We are all like the "dry bones". Sometimes as we go about our lives we get dry in our faith and only look to it when something major or catostophic happens. We need to use Lent as a time to "resurrect" our faith life and see where we need to "come alive".  We need to allow the Holy Spirit to "breathe" on us and fill us with the fuel of life.

Walk with us Mother Mary as we stive to come alive in our faith. Remind us often of the walk your Son Jesus, our Lord, took in the desert. Pray for us to be strong as we take this time during Lent to give our small sacrifices for the Glory of God. Amen.
