It seems to me that Covid-19 has been like a spotlight or catalyst, bringing out both the best and the worst in people. We have seen some incredibly sacrificial behavior by medical staff and caretakers. Others work day in and day out volunteering to hand out food to families who are in need, caused or worsened by this crisis. On the other hand, other people refuse to wear masks and continue to congregate in groups, oblivious to the danger they pose to others. I think a lot of crises are like this, forcing people to show what they are “really” like deep down. They show us what we are made of, and this is sometimes quite uncomfortable. These revelations challenge us to do better and be better. I’m reminded of this frequently. Our pastor today talked about being called to action in this terrible time, and an author yesterday said that every day she must choose courage over comfort and complacency. I’m eager to get my vaccination so I can venture out without worrying about catching the virus. I’m no saint, like some of these folks, but I would like to do what I can to help when so many are suffering. Covid-19 has clarified some things for me about what is important in my life. I think being unable to do anything has highlighted the things that I miss the most and long for. I hope to be more attentive to those things when I am able. --Terese
