Through this unusual time, God has been teaching me some things that transcend the restrictions this virus has limited us to.

When each one of us offers a little grain of sand through our caring actions, we create together a beautiful beach of hope.

We are wrestling with the realities of COVID-19 and racial injustice and tensions in our communities. Our assumptions and expectations are being challenged. Our faith perspectives are being examined.

Loss, anger, grief, protest, and heaviness abound around us.
