During this time of worldwide crisis, Rev. Barney and NineOf12 engage in some lighter conversation…

And the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

He said to them in reply, “Whoever has two tunics should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise.” Luke 3:10-11

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

– Buddha

Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. Matthew 10:8

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

– Charles Dickens Let’s talk about helping out in a crisis.
