2020-11 Light At The End Of The Tunnel

This last weekend we took our scouts camping to a location that has an old train tunnel that was decommissioned in the early 1900’s in Elberta, Utah. It’s not the longest of tunnels, but it’s long enough that the outside light has a hard time getting to the middle. As we were hiking into the tunnel, the daylight started to get dimmer and dimmer.  I started to reflect on the events that have happened over this last week and how each media broadcast about COVID-19 and the market crashing made each day appear dimmer and dimmer. Almost to the point that fear was more present than hope. Things will be difficult for a while. Family members have or may become infected with a virus that is shutting down the world. People have lost their lives. Life has been displaced. But, I am hopeful that things will get better. In my experience during hard times, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. We must remember to continue to do our best as we walk through this tunnel of life.  Our hopes, thoughts, and prayers are with you as we travel through this challenging trail together. Be safe, be clean, and be prepared.
