What ‘s the strangest thing you’ve seen during the COVID-19 pandemic? Have you encountered anyone wearing what appears to be an astronaut suit trying to fend off germs?

35 years ago, Ellen and I spoke our marriage vows. I would like to say that I remember every single moment of that celebration service word for word, as well as everything else about that day.

Rev. Dr. Michael Ziegler, speaker of the Lutheran Hour radio broadcast, has been putting out a weekly video offering encouragement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Would you describe yourself as a “rules follower,” or one who likes to “exercise personal freedom” and often goes against the crowd?

One question that I’ve been mulling over for the past several weeks is: Decades from now, how will history books describe the COVID-19 pandemic?

“April showers bring May flowers.” So goes the old rhyme. I had a 4th Grade teacher who used to say, “April showers bring May mud.”
