      We’re living in a world with a lot of chaos and fighting.   Covid. The BLM movement.

    In everything that’s going on at the moment I know some of you are more scared than you’ve ever been before.   There are a million things going on outside our control. Fear eats a hole in our stomachs as we twitch aside window curtains and wonder if just one more visit to the store…
