Growing up I was a voracious reader, but now that I’m in grad school, I hardly have time to read for fun. Recently though, I’ve been able to start reading a little more, and it has kept me grounded. I figured some of you are probably finding yourselves reading a little more often than you usually do, so I thought I’d take a moment to share with you some of my favorite books as well as a few of Monica’s (my girlfriend). Many of these are available on Kindle.

Today, for some reason, I am feeling the weight of this pandemic more than ever -- a friend shared their elderly friend tested positive, a member of a neighboring church went to the hospital with fever (roommate is positive), a rehab center in the neighborhood has had more than 10 COVID related deaths, the jails, the nursing homes and the list goes on. 

Easter is over, folks, now what? For some this is a struggle! But, here is what I think: Yes, the celebration of Easter day is over, but Easter has just begun, because you see every day after resurrection is Easter (liturgically we are in Easter-tide or Easter season).
