COT:

Prayers went out for Bell’s family friend (Mike) who is dealing with a new cancer diagnosis, thoughts and prayers for administrations, teachers and families struggling with school decisions for next year, prayers for perspective as we tackle tough decisions, and thoughts and prayers for all those with family and friends in assisted living facilities who have been cut off from their loved ones and are struggling to keep the faith.  For YHC, it is always helpful to know that as we struggle with this pandemic and life changes in general, that God saw this coming, He knows when and how it will end, and He will be with us along the way.  Thank you for the opportunity to lead and I encourage all PAX to step up and Q at your earliest opportunity.  Aye!
