Hello, Everyone! Can you believe Summer is here already! Yes, it officially arrived at 11:32 PM/EDT on June 20th, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of 2021. Half the year has flown by already!
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 my deepest gratitude for all that you do. Much love and appreciation to each and every one of our amazing frontline heroes!
Yet, we all still need to stay vigilant and up-to-date on the COVID 19 pandemic (especially with the delta and other new variants out there) for our own, our families' and our nation's 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 still 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 freely available to all those eligible in the U. S. The overall number of Covid-19 cases is declining. And that's really good news!!
For my regular readers, 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 Summer 2021!!
