Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry… until you are endued with power from on high (Luke 24:49 NKJV).” As Covid-19 moves slowly off the scene, it leaves in its wake grief, pain, and fear. People wonder will things ever get back to “normal.” Will we no longer hug one another or shake hands? Will large gatherings cease to exist? Is football as we know it sacked for future generations?
