Hello, Everyone! We've already entered 2021, a brand new year. And can you believe that Spring is only 33 days away? Yes #Spring2021 arrives on Saturday, March 20th!
2020 was, very definitely, a singular year - a year like no other! Yet, as I look back, there were still many things to be thankful for over the past year.
I am particularly grateful for all the amazing frontline heroes out there who continue to fight the coronavirus pandemic, and who provide us with so many essential goods and services, day in and day out. Your sacrifices and dedication are beyond incredible and are, most definitely, greatly appreciated. Words cannot adequately express our deepest gratitude for all that you do. Much love and appreciation to each and every one of our frontline heroes!
Yet, we all still need to stay up-to-date on the COVID 19 pandemic for our own, our families' and our nation's safety and wellbeing. I recommend following these reliable Coronavirus Resources:
Coronavirus Resource Center - Johns Hopkins University & Medicine
Coronavirus Resource Center - Harvard Health/ Medical School
Coronavirus 2020 Outbreak: Latest Updates - Web MD
The above listed resources provide answers to many of the common questions we're all asking, as well as providing reliable information on social distancing, handwashing, and the wisdom of something as simple as wearing a mask.
And I'm thanking God that the vaccines have arrived, and are currently being distributed! That is really Good News!!
Here is my "Best of 2020" Year-in-Review of #churchtech, faith, and social media - "The Best of Church and Social Media 2020"
Wishing Everyone a Safe, Happy & Blessed New Year 2021!! And Looking Forward to Spring 2021.
