Quarantine: Stuck in a holding pattern

It feels like we are stuck. Are we ever going to get through this pandemic? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

We are not where we were a year ago but we are not where we were two years ago. Are we called to just wait in a holding pattern for COVID to just go away?

Could it be that we are being reshaped to be made new in the midst of the holding pattern?

The disciples were in between in today’s text. They tried to go back to their normal but when they met the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, everything changed……….because it had to.
