One of my staff has 18 yr old twin boys, a 16 yr old girl, and 12 yr old boy - on her own, as a fairly recent widow. She has been working hard to complete her B.A., with finals and last papers due this week. As she looked forward to wrapping up her undergrad and moving into getting her masters in education, Oregon has just closed schools through April. I've given her extra time off and let her use a quiet space in the office a few times to regain study ground from suddenly having 4 kids at home all day, but have seen her stress rise steadily. I must admit that I look forward to her next three days off, fearful of a huge emotional meltdown, crisis at home, or illness. My little life is looking pretty good!

Facts of life

tinkercreek comments on Mar 10, 2020:

OK, I must share bit of a lenten season email via my catholic-based corporation - they think they're making it better!!!🤣😂😂🤣😂 : "We don’t know much about Joseph; scripture tells us he was “righteous” and “just.” But we can also conclude that he was a person of compassion and a model caregiver. When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant before they were married, he had the right to publicly break the contract, which would have exposed Mary to shame and possibly exile from the community. Instead, in a demonstration of his compassion, he intended to end the engagement “quietly.” In a dream, he was reassured about taking Mary as his wife, and he took his responsibility as caregiver to Mary and Jesus seriously, even in the face of many challenges."
