We are entering the first full week of the Safer-at-Home Order issued by our county government. Some areas of the country and the world have faced stronger restrictions and for much longer, but that doesn’t make it easier.

Who is to blame for the lack of preparation for and response to the coronavirus? A lot of people are asking those questions, and everyone has an opinion. I don’t.

Everyone wants to work for a company that has a great culture. Everyone wants to live in a world where peace and love are the norm. But realizing these desires takes work, and it is up to us. In this episode of By Your Life, we ask, “If not me, then who? If not now, then when? If not the truth of the Gospel, then what?”

Can you imagine a life without second chances? I think we would cease to live.
