A Serious Note From Tom
Dear Friends,
Our lives these days are filled with peaks and valleys. A perfect example occurred late this afternoon. The valley was an email informing me that the father of a woman in our church family who had tested positive for Covid-19 just died. Incredibly sad for all. The virus is taking a toll on everyone - physically, emotionally, economically - and keeps pushing us deeper into life's valleys.
Yet amidst the valleys, there remain many peaks, one which appeared a few moments later when I received a note from a long-time Community Church family, the Randolphs. Jennifer wrote in the email that their family business had
shifted its resources to manufacturing protective face shields, noting
"
with every face shield produced we protect one more medical professional currently at risk.
"
An inspiring, wonderful peak.
Peaks and valleys. The death of a loved one. Concurrently, a nimble, values-based family business doing a 180 degree turn that is helping the global crisis we're in - and ultimately, saving lives.
