It is Passover/Resurrection Week and as we approach The Crossing I've assembled some of my favorite pieces to inspire you.  As I record this, the Coronavirus has struck over half a million people, resulting in truckloads of bodies going into mass graves in the public parks; deadly tornadoes have ripped through the south obliterating tens of thousands of people's only quarantine shelters; food assistance programs nationwide cry out they haven't enough food to give while farmers cry out they have to destroy their hard-earned crops for lack of transportation to the hungry nation-wide.  Businesses are bankrupting by the thousands every day and unemployment applications in the millions are crashing all the communication networks.  The National Guard has been dispatched in every possible way, and the biggest breakthrough at the hospitals, a month-and-a-half in, is a way to steam-clean the medics' masks and face shields.  People are losing loved ones without opportunities to say goodbye, losing their homes, losing sight of anything normal.  Most don't think there will be anything left to return to when it's all over.

And so, it truly is an Exodus from American Life as we know it, to some yet-unknown Resurrection.  Let's take a few minutes to remember why this is a blessed opportunity, not just a scary downfall.
