Dear Class of 2020
Whatever your plans were for this spring, they’ve probably been messed up in a big way. Maybe your plans for the summer, too.

One unique feature about the current crisis, though, is that it’s affected the whole world to some degree. In the United States,…

I’ve been homeschooling…because of CoronaVirus…because I still need to be a good mother… With this, there’s an inclination not to expect much of the book. But, Holy Spirit reminds me…
