Yesterday, as I talked to various friends on the phone, logged into my email, joined in group texts, checked in on social media, and tried to stay quarantined but connected, I’ve been struck by the vastly different reactions the people around me are having to the last several, surreal days.

When I was asked to write a blog for The 12 last week, I had no idea how different my life, and the world would be today, when that blog was published. I don’t have a lot of wisdom to share, but through writing, I process. And through writing, I really do attempt to stumble toward grace. Grace for each other, grace from God, grace for the days ahead.

You’ll find that blog post here.
