It seems that with each passing day we receive news of another person who has come down with symptoms of the Novel Coronavirus (Covid19). As a result many people have been gripped by fear. We are hearing of community events being cancelled, stores selling out of hand sanitizer and people avoiding public places.

As we look at our world today, we see the evidence of fear as major events all over the world are being cancelled or restricted because of the coronavirus.

This week our house was invaded with cuteness. Along with two of our grandchildren, we had eight puppies sleeping in our kitchen. Whenever I came close to their pen, each puppy would look inquisitively to see if I would be willing to give them a cuddle.
