[email protected] life everlasting. Amen. 770-517-8552 -The Book of Common Prayer, page 102 This Season "To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) This means that all emotions and actions, both negative and positive, have important meaning; and we experience them all throughout our life. This has certainly been true for the year 2020. We are experiencing what almost no living person has suffered ever before with this pandemic. So much of our world has been turned upside down. I worry in this time about people being alone, especially those who suffer from mental illness, depression, addiction or other diseases. Many people have been placed on furlough or their jobs have been terminated all together. The food bank in my church has expanded to help feed people who are facing hunger. Many, many people have suffered and died. The fear of eviction looms in the lives of many.
