How to Survive the Pandemic Panic
Ernest L. Easley
2 Thessalonians 2:13-16
In this worldwide pandemic that is currently sweeping and shaking our world, we need a fresh word from God and here it is in three words:

Handshaking is out, elbow bumps are in and parents with school age children are faced with the reality that they don't know how to do 5th grade math!
