Beloved Family in Christ,

Every week we think there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. We start to feel a little more positive, and then we sink back down into the confusion of uncertainty. Some of you may have read the satirical New York Times opinion piece the other day, poking fun at the contradictions:

P: How long should we stay inside?

A: I’m thinking two months. No, three. Six? No, 12. Yes, 12!

P: Then it will be gone?

A: The virus? Lord no. It could be 18 months till we get a vaccine. But by then you’ll have already gotten it, so the date doesn’t really matter. Especially given that the virus will come back double-strong in the fall.

P: So it’s less potent in the summer?

A: Absolutely not. Who told you that? <
