Bars, strip clubs, Hollywood, drag queen story hour at libraries, and even a number of abortion centers are being closed, or severely impeded in there work.

Our three teenage daughters created a date night for us tonight in our camper. I'm sure the Greek scholars on here will appreciate the name. Feeling very blessed!

They did a nice job of setting it up too. May your καραντίνα prove relaxing and may you never have a need for it for health reasons.

There's a young teenage boy my brother has been mentoring who, in my brother's words, "If you tell him it's a rebellious thing to do, he'll do it."
The boy's father called my bro a week or so after the schools shut down and told him that the separation from his friends has been really good for him. The boy is helping out more, less rebellious, more compliant, etc. (Of course, the root problem is that he needs to be surrendered to Christ, but hopefully this time can open the door to a better relationship with his parents and will lead to a closer walk with the Lord as well.)
Hopefully there are other stories out there like this of families, especially those with teenagers, bonding together more and realizing how important family is.

Mennonites, who in the past have socially-distanced themselves from those who didn't fit well in the Mennonite box, are now experiencing some of what it feels like. If this experience would change (for the better) the way they treat people in the future, that, in my opinion, would be a silver lining.
