Is this the beginning of the end?

Is this the beginning of the end?

Christmas lights, Christmas carols. Smiles behind (no) masks. More face-to-face events in campus and in public areas.

Car traffic beginning to approach carmaggedon levels again (sadly). More pollution and jam-packed spaces.

Is this the beginning of the end of the pandemic? Sadly, my medical doctor friends have shared that there are increasing cases of COVID in hospitals. The finish line feels so near but the fight is not yet over.

These doses of reality, both pleasant and unpleasant, seem to suggest that we may be entering another crucial point, for better or for worse. For now, we keep the faith.

Matthew 9:27-31. “Let it be done for you according to your faith.”
