All right, so you know what I did when COVID hit and I started reading a certain book in the Bible. Yeah, you started reading Psalms

Yeah, the funny thing is I didn't know I started before COVID and then after I'm like maybe God led me there because the book of Psalms

was so

emotive and

It felt like I was reading

Scripture of people that were going through a pandemic

You know, it's sort of like I was, you know, and it just gave words to the feelings we had

I'm so glad that I was reading that during the pandemic. It just shows how relevant God's word is to everything that we go through
