It seems like everything in life is a tad darker, everyone is a little crankier, and judgement is all around us. I walk into a store without a mask on and people glare like I’m the devil. Add to that the constant change in information flooding our media feeds and it’s hard to know who…
What are we supposed to do? Should we wear a mask or not? Should we have our extended family over for that party? What about getting together with friends? Will you shop at a store that mandates masks? These are just some of the questions I’ve heard the past several weeks. The answers to these…
Well this is the second time I’ve used this song but it has special meaning for me today. You see yesterday we came back to church. We’ve been waiting for this day for weeks. Being displaced from something that is so important and so life changing is no fun. Being told you can’t do something…
