Dear Fort George/Lighthouse,

Over the last last few weeks it's been almost impossible to hear anything except how COVID-19 has affected our lives.  And the news has a very specific slant on this.  News has always "sold" by being dramatic and negative.  It is always wars, disasters and plagues that make the front pages.  But this isn't the whole story, or the part of the story that we need to be focusing on.

Now I'm not saying the Coronavirus isn't important, but I am saying our thoughts about how it relates to us shouldn't be governed by the secular media, they should be governed by Christ and His word.

To that end I've come across a couple sources of perspective that I would like to share with you in the hopes that they will encourage you as they have encouraged me.  

Jesus has His hands on all of this.  He's not just making the best of a bad thing, He is controlling this.  So stand strong in your faith.  Make choices today that will strengthen your connection with Christ and His kingdom.

May God draw you to Himself during this time.

~Pastor Dan
