Finding Peace Amidst Chaos
Several years ago, there was a series on TV called, Lost. In the first episode, a plane crashed on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. It was chaos. Jagged, twisted parts of the plane strewn all around, some burning. Survivors were in different stages of just experiencing a traumatic event. As the scene expanded, and you could see people struggling to get to their feet, helping others, looking for their friends and loved ones, running, etc., there was one lady sitting alone calmly in the sand painting her fingernails.

I’ve been wanting to write about this for some time now, however, I must wait on the Lord. He lets me know when it’s time for me to write and what He wants me to write about. I find when I have something I want to write and I just can’t seem to do it, it’s because He has something He wants to show me. So, I wait.

The Little Drummer Boy
Come,
they told me.
A newborn king
to see.
I love Christmas and Christmas music. I love the way it makes me feel – the way it makes everything feel. It’s positive, hopeful, and fun. There’s this sense of anticipation in the air. What’s not to like about that?

It was March 11, 2020 when the world changed.
That was the day a basketball game made the coronavirus pandemic real.
The Utah Jazz were in Oklahoma City getting ready to play the Thunder in a regular season game. The game never even started. Players were on the court, and tip-off was about to take place. Both teams went back into their locker rooms and the crowd was told the game had been postponed and asked to leave in an orderly fashion. We found out afterwards, it had been discovered that one of the Jazz players tested positive for the virus. About an hour and a half later, the NBA suspended the rest of the season.

Little did I know the blessings God had in store for me when I decided to rejoin the workforce about two years ago. Oh, I knew full well His Divine intervention is what placed me here, although it seemed unlikely to me that I would be much good to my colleagues, not to mention how I could glorify God in this new line of work. That was all I wanted to do though – glorify God and in some way be a blessing to those I work with. Odds felt pretty slim Broadcast News would be the place the Lord would need me.

You may have been in a store sometime in the last few days, or seen a story on the news, and discovered that there’s a shortage in toilet paper. Amid the outbreak of the latest Coronavirus incarnation, COVID 19, a public panic over toilet paper found fertile ground in social media and has since spread faster than the virus itself. The shelves are empty everywhere. People have been seen in big box stores with mountains of toilet paper in their carts. The more pictures and stories showed up on social media, the more shoppers rushed to the stores to stock up on toilet paper. Fueled by fear, people fight each other over the last package.

Live by faith
Or live by deeds
One is a struggle
One fills our needs
If you’ll give up control
Your faith will increase
Rely on yourself
And your blessings will cease
Lean not on your own understanding
Glorify God to the most
Your needs are well known by the Father
The Son and the Holy Ghost
