Change in Real Time: Reflections on the scripture

Covid-19 tapped our resilience for unexpected change. Sudden change requires a surge of readiness. Responding rather than reacting can temper the negative impact of crisis. Even as anxiety is present, we can flip the switch of our thinking to respond to problems creatively.
