Remember when offices, schools, sports arenas, and doctor visits were all going virtual? Buildings with great architectural designs in our cities became vacant and time stood still. The hustle and bustle, the energy and vibrancy were sucked out of our society. Social distancing was eminent, and the wearing of masks was mandatory. The effects of COVID-19 were widespread and troubling to the point that so many lost hope of ever living a normal life again.

​

At no time did we expect this sudden change in our lifestyle. We were surprised. Thousands died and were buried without loved ones at their side. Emotional families found it hard to deal with closure and sadness and grief plagued the world. Yes, I lost loved ones, too, and know and feel your pain.

​

It's time to strengthen your faith! Don't give up! Encourage yourself and others and reach out to those in need in your community. Yes, we are going to make it!  With Jesus in our vessel, we can smile at the storm.

"But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” Luke 22:32 (NKJV)
