Heather and Jes 1978
For many years I have enjoyed watching Hallmark Christmas movies in July. They bring out my good will and cheer. And every year in July Chris remarks that when the Seahawks start training Christmas is here. This year it doesn't seem like Christmas at all. Yes, there are Hallmark Christmas movies showing all month, the Seahawks are attempting to figure out how to train-- but, and this time in our nation is more difficult than ever-- we are dealing with Covid 19, race riots, anarchy, and bad will to those who disagree with our beliefs.
So how is a Christian to deal with all of this? We opine as Longfellow wrote-- And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said; "For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth he sleep! The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men.
So we put on our masks, (Heather is wearing a mask in the picture above as she had a cold), we go out and do good, and we pray. God will prevail!

Bing Crosby did it best I think.
