I know you all are eager for life to return to normal. I assure you so am I. It is lonely being in the sanctuary on Sunday without you all. Yet I am buoyed by the knowledge and peace that you are at home and that you are safe.

I don't know when the fast from public worship will end. When it does it is sure to be scaled down for a time. Which is to say I have no idea when "normal" will be. Like our brothers and sister in ages past we wander this desert with no knowledge of when we will reach the promise land only the sure and certain hope of the promise that we will. We are not lost for we are the blonde children of God and he will walk with us through this moment into his kingdom.
