Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (12/10)

Media is reporting that nationally the Thanksgiving surge is hitting, but it doesn't seem that way locally.  Usually, though, the Midwest seems to lag behind the coasts for some reason by a couple of weeks.  Maybe we can get to Christmas break before the new surge happens here.  The weather is still helping...suppose to be near 60 degrees today.

Holy Spirit...

Help me have...

    a humble heart, that I may hear;
    a heart of love, that I may serve;
    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit.
