The Super Bowl for Christians
Only every year your team wins
A big party with lavish religious productions
A happy time with colorful eggs oddly laid by rabbits
A celebration of new clothes and new life
An empty cross and an empty tomb
Hope. Life. Victory.
Only this year is different.
There is a killer on the loose
Over 113,000 people dead
Almost 2,000,000 confirmed cases
Think about that for a moment
A deadly cousin to the common cold
Has taken over the world through sneezing and coughing
Talk about being blind-sided
Suddenly a syfy novel becomes our reality
A scramble for necessary equipment and personal
Thousands of funerals waiting until we can gather again
Millions out of work indefinitely
An inconvenience for some, an impossible situation for others
Yet
Wonderful new heroes hitherto under-paid and under-appreciated
Taking care of the sick and making it possible for the well to survive
Musicians are still making and sharing music
Comedians are still trying to get us to laugh
Neighbors checking on neighbors
The young and healthy are coming to the rescue of the elderly and vulnerable.
The church has left the building
