I hate that COVID is still a thing, hate it. But guys. It is. With cases rising in many states, including my own. When I was at the hospital last week here in Iowa, a medical professional told me: "Cases are rising, and I have seen those who are sick, and it's horrible.

I would never want to get it." I told her I was a pastor's wife and that we were meeting again for church, trying to do so safely with spaced out pews and masks.

I asked her: "Should we be wearing masks? Masks have become very controversial, even seemingly political. There

is so much debate."

"Doesn't the Bible talk about loving one another?" she asked.

"Yes, absolutely," I told her.

"Of COURSE you should be wearing masks. Please, wear masks."

For whatever that's worth. I love you all.
