I learned today of a friend's death from complications of COVID. It is indiscriminate in its victims. It does most of its damage to the vulnerable and ravages the weak. Even those who feel invincible can find themselves in its grip. It has made us more cautious. More aware of our frailties. More aware of our mortality. Most have realized its potential and altered their ways accordingly.
Most of us will make it through to the other side of this pandemic. Many have not. As of today, two million globally have not. For their families, we weep. For Kathi's family, I weep.
We urge you, brethren,
admonish the unruly,
encourage the fainthearted,
HELP THE WEAK,
be patient with everyone.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:14 -
