LIVING WATER By Alise Weber — This has been a unique time for all of us. I remember talking to my mom on the phone in early March and joking that I might as well buy toilet paper and canned goods, just in case. After all, even if I didn’t need those items, I could always begin assembling that emergency supply stash that we are all supposed to have. I had heard the quiet rumblings of panic and I couldn’t ignore them.

COMMENTARY - LORD MAKE US ONE By Joel Reyes — I am at the school every day. I typically spend the day in the office with a headset pressed to my ears, instructing my students from a distance. It’s a blessing to see my students every morning and to get to talk to them. It does my soul good to know I am still relevant to them. It is also good to see them laugh, and interact with each other, even if it is only through a small window via an electronic device. During worship today, one of them said, “I just want this to end!” We all said, “Amen!”

COMMENTARY – MOUNTAINS
By Doug Inglish — I grew up in a notoriously flat state (although, my house being nestled in an old growth oak forest only a mile from the sandy shores of a Great Lake, it was anything but ugly). One of the things I constantly fought during my years in the Midwest was moles in my lawn. I won’t go into too many details, but at various times my arsenal included smoke bombs, traps, chewing gum (fresh and chewed), alum, castor oil, and crystalized bobcat urine (yes, you read that last one correctly). Victory was finally achieved by forming a partnership with black rat snakes, which shows that sometimes you have to make a deal with some shady characters to get things done.
