The Church during the days of Corona Virus: Pray for those who are unemployed

Our friend SlimJim (Domain for Truth blog) reminds us of a critical prayer need. We pray that the suddenly unemployed get their jobs back as soon as this crisis is over.  –LD

(I add that if America can’t recover from the virus panic… nobody can.)

Can You Say the Same?

Our dear old dogwood tree is running late, but it looks like it’ll come into bloom eventually. Meanwhile, here’s Marcia’s dogwood, on her blog, A Mom Looking Up. God’s stuff!  –LD

Be Still and Know that I Am God

I Just Don’t Know

What to Do While You’re Stuck

(From Andrea Schwartz’s Facebook page)

Image may contain: possible text that says 'While in quarantine, Shakespeare wrote King Lear. While in quarantine, Isaac Newton developed calculus and discovered gravity. While under house arrest, Paul wrote part of New Testament. While in prison, John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress. Consider what kingdom work you could do while staying home.'

To this list we must add Sir Thomas Malory, who, while in prison, wrote the Morte D’Arthur–the first book printed in the English language, and still in print today.

Just because you’re stuck at home and can’t go to a ballgame doesn’t mean you’re stuck doing nothing. You don’t have to write a new book of the Bible; but now you have time to read it. And talk about it with your family.

We can use this time constructively, if we put our minds to it.
