The sunrise over the field was a reminder of God's sovereign reign, His power shining forth and the fresh new start of each morning. He is in control even when I can't see it.
Day 2 (3/14):
Saturday, we stopped by the public library and had to stand behind a line of black tape to maintain social distancing. What an odd feeling. I knew why we had to do it but it felt a bit like I was a pariah. These are strange times.
Day 3 (3/15):
Sunday we went to church for the last time. Attendance was at about 50%, coffee was served by servers with gloves but we still worshipped and fellowshipped together. Church was a balm and praising God brought peace to my heart.
Day 4 (3/16):
Monday was spent in meetings all day long discussing as we were 3-6 ft. apart as a crisis response team and administrative team. We had to determine how to deliver meals to students, how to manage paying hourly employees, how to provide educational resources to families and who could still be allowed in the building.
Restaurants close in Minnesota as the crisis becomes more intense. It feels like we are losing freedoms and the loss of control adds to internal stress and pressure. It still feels like a bizarre dystopian armageddon type movie that we are living in. Europe is closed down for travel and everyone's anxiety is spiraling out of control as we wonder what is next.
