STRONGLY AS OUR GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION. LISA: AND WHILE WE ALL CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY AT HOME WITH FAMILY, WE LOOK TO OUR FAITH LEADERS THROUGH ONLINE SERVICES. GULSTAN: 10 PEOPLE OF FAITH FROM THE SACRAMENTO AREA RECORDED MESSAGES OF HOPE AND COMFORT JUST FOR YOU. ♪ >> THIS YEAR, NO MATTER WHAT OUR RELIGION IS, EVEN THOUGH OUR CELEBRATIONS ARE LOOKING DIFFERENT AND SMALLER AND MORE HUMBLE, WHAT IS STRIKING IS THAT THE FAITH COMMUNITY IS REALLY COMING TOGETHER IN A DIFFERENT WAY. WE’RE COMING TOGETHER IN A SENSE OF SOLIDARTY AND A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE ANOTHER. BY NOT COMING TOGETHER, WE ARE ACTUALLY COMING TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. BECAUSE WHEN WE DO THAT, WE STAY IN OUR HOMES, WEAR OUR GLOVES AND MASKS WE’RE ACKNOWLEDGING THE BIBLICAL TEACHING THAT WE ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS KEEPERS. ONLY REACH OUT TO OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE ELDERLY ORILL AND SEE IF WE NEED THEM -- NEED TO GET THEM GROCERIES OR MEDICATION, WE’RE LOVING THEM AS OURSELVES. WHEN WE COME TOGETHER IN THIS WAY AND RECOGNIZE HOW INTERCONNECTED OUR LIVES ARE, AND OUR WELL-BEING IS RELIANT ON THE OTHER, WE ACKNOWLEDGE WE ARE ONE HUMAN FAMILY AND ALL CHILDREN OF THE SAME GOT. SO -- GOD. SO IT’S NOT ONLY THE EARTH BEING RENEWED, IT’S THE EARTH AS A WHOLE. AS WE REALIZE HOW SMALL OUR PLANET IT IS, AND HOW EACH IN OUR OWN WAY ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. I PRAY THIS REAWAKENING WILL TAKE ROOT AND ALL OF OUR HEARTS AND CONTINUE TO FLOURISH IN THE YEARS TO COME. ♪ >> WE LEARNED IN THE RELIGIOUS TRADITION, AND THE KORAN, IT IS AT TIMES OF ISOLATION THAT GOD ACTUALLY BRINGS IMMENSE BLESSINGS AND IMMENSE BEAUTY TO PEOPLE’S LIVES, WHETHER THAT’S THE STORY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD OR THAT’S THE STORY OF MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS, OR THAT’S THE STORY OF SO MANY OF THE OTHER PROPHETS AND PEOPLE IN THE KORAN. SO THAT’S ONE THING THAT AS WE FIND OURSELVES MORE AND MORE IN ISOLATION, WE FIND OURSELVES WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE IMMENSE BLESSING. BUT ALSO, REALLY, THE TRUTH IS THAT CHRIST DOES PUSH US CLOSER TO GOD. IT REMINDS US OF OUR VULNERABILITIES. REMINDS US THAT THESE ARE DAUNTING TIMES AND WE NEED THE DIVINE INTERVENTION. IT OPENS US UP TO THAT. SO, TO BE OPEN TO THAT AND REALIZE THERE ARE MANY OUT THERE SEEKING GOD, AND IT’S OUR JOB AS PEOPLE OF FAITH TO OPEN OUR ARMS, TO OPEN OUR HEARTS, TO HELP PEOPLE, TO ALLEVIATE THEIR ANXIETIES AND WHATEVER STRESSING THEM AT THIS TIME, TO ADDRESS THEIR SPIRITUAL CHALLENGES. THAT’S UP TO US TO HAVE THAT KIND OF CARE AND LOVE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. I PRAY TO GOD THAT THIS HAS CHANGED US. I PRAY THAT THIS HAS CHANGED US BECAUSE WHEN WE ARE UNCHANGED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE AND THE NEW CHALLENGES, THAT’S WHEN I FEAR THAT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE DEAD OF HEART. BUT PEOPLE OF LIVING HEARTS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE CARE AND COMPASSION AND LOVE IN THEIR HEARTS, THIS MUST CHANGE THEM. THAT CAN BE ON A PRACTICAL LEVEL WITH THE WAY WE DEAL WITH TECHNOLOGIES. IT CAN BE ON A SOCIAL LEVEL WITH THE WAY THAT WE LOOK AT THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING AND STRUGGLING MORE, THOSE WHO ARE IN GREATER PAIN. IT CAN BE AT A GLOBAL LEVEL AND LOOKING AT HOW THIS HAS IMPACTED CLIMATE CHANGE AND OUR IMPACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE. LIKE I SAID, I REALLY DO PRAY TO GOD THAT THIS HAS CHANGED US AND WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE US IN NO WAY WHICH WE WOULD BE ENLIGHTENED. >> IN THE SEASON, AS WE’RE PROGRESSING AND GETTING CLOSER TO EASTER, IT’S REMINISCENT OF THE STORY ITSELF OF THE JESUS STORY, WHERE WE’RE AT THIS POINT WHERE JESUS HAS GONE THROUGH THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF HIS LIFE WHERE HE IS APPROACHING DEATH. WE’LL KNOW THROUGH THAT STORY THAT AT THE END OF THIS THERE IS REDEMPTION. IT’S RESURRECTION THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR. EVEN IN THIS TIME AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THE REALNESS, WE ARE REALLY LIVING INTO THAT REAL MOMENT WHERE WE OURSELVES ARE GOING THROUGH A DARK PERIOD OF TIME AND WE WILL BE ALSO COMING OUT IN THE END. ♪ >> THIS IS OUR TIME TO ACTUALLY UNITE, SHINE, AND EVERYBODY NEEDS TO DO THEIR PART BY JUST STAYING HOME. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY IMMUNOCOMPROMISED OR SENIORS OR ANYBODY YOU CAN HELP, NOW IS THE TIME TO ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. DON’T SIT BACK AND WAIT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE. HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS OR ANYBODY THAT SHOULDN’T BE LEAVING THE HOUSE. GO AND GET THEM SOME GROCERIES OR COOK THEM SOME FOOD. AND SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY DOING THAT BECAUSE WE’RE ACTUALLY DOING IT ON A CONTROLLED NEIGHBOR -- LEVEL WHERE WE ARE TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS. IF THERE ARE PEOPLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY DURING THAT, MAKE SURE YOU SUPPORT THEM SO THEY CAN KEEP GOING. ♪ >> WHAT I’VE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE, AND IT’S KIND OF A SPANISH PHRASE, WHICH IS A SUBTLE REMINDER THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, GOD’S IN CHARGE. AS MUCH AS WE HAVE OUR PLANS, IT CAN HAVE THAT SENSE OF WEIGHT, THERE’S A BIGGER PLAN IN STORE. AND I’VE BEEN TYING IT TO HOLY WEEK AND GOD’S BOSS CONTROL, ESPECIALLY HIS SON GOES TO THE CROSS, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF EASTER MYSTERIES, GOD’S STILL IN CHARGE. TO BE ABLE TO SURRENDER OUR ANXIETIES TO THE LORD AND PRAISED AND KNOW WE HAVEN’T BEEN FORGOTTEN. GOD IS STILL WITH US AND THERE’S REAL HOPE FOR TOMORROW DESPITE WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE NATION OR THE WORLD. ♪ >> IN MANY OF OUR FAITH CAN JUST RUSH TRADITIONS, INCLUDING MINE, IN THE TIME OF THE PASSOVER GOING INTO HOLY WEEK, BOTH IN THE PASSOVER TIME, IT WAS A TIME WHERE IT WAS A SHELTER-IN-PLACE. PEOPLE HAD TO STAY IN PLACE IN ORDER TO AVOD DEATH. DURING THE TIME OF JESUS’S CRUCIFIXION, THERE WAS A SHELTER-IN-PLACE. THEY HAD TO STAY TO AVOID GOING OUT. THIS IS A SHELTER-IN-PLACE. WHILE WE ARE HERE IN THIS MOMENT, MOMENTARILY, AND IT’S A REALLY CHALLENGING TIME, THERE IS HOPE THAT WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS. I AM CONSTANTLY JUST ENCOURAGED BY SOME OF OUR LOCAL CITY OFFICIALS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND SOME OF OUR PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERS, LIKE SIERRA HEALTH FOUNDATION, THAT HAVE REALLY TAKEN THEIR ARMS AND WRAPPED THEM AROUND OUR COMMUNITY DURING THIS TIME. THERE IS HOPE, EVEN IN THIS CHALLENGING MOMENT. NOW AS WE AS A COMMUNITY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO SERVICE, EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO TREATMENT, EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO MASKS, THOSE THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE, WHILE WE ARE PROTECTING OUR OWN LIVES, WE ALSO HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THOSE WHO ARE INCARCERATED RIGHT NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT ENVIRONMENT IS CONTINUALLY SPREADING COVID-19 IN WAYS THAT CAN’T BE STOPPED UNLESS WE RELEASE LOW-LEVEL OFFENDERS. WE ALSO KNOW THAT FIRST RESPONDERS NEED THAT PROTECTIVE DEVICES, MASKS, AND GLOVES. SO WHILE WE’RE PROTECTING OUR LIVES, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS HOPE FOR THOSE THAT ARE VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES THAT ARE UNDERSERVED, THAT AT THIS MOMENT OF CRISIS, WE NEED THEM TO BE SERVED WITH THE SAME LEVEL OF INTENSE INTENTIONALITY, RESPECT, SO WE CAN SAVE LIVES. AND SO THIS WEEK, AS WE REFLECT ON BOTH RESURRECTION SUNDAY, WE BOTH REFLECT ON OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND WHAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE MY BROTHER’S KEEPER, MY NEIGHBOR, AND SUPPORT THOSE AROUND US. >> PASSOVER IS BASICALLY A DISRUPTIVE ENERGY, ESSENTIALLY. PASSOVER IS ABOUT STOPPING ONE MODE AND TRANSFORMING, ESSENTIALLY, JUMPING TO A WHOLE NEW STATE OF EXISTENCE, A WHOLE NEW PLANE OF EXISTENCE. THE JEWISH PEOPLE LEFT EGYPT, PREVIOUSLY THERE WERE SLAVES. THEY WENT FROM A STATE OF SLAVERY TO A STATE OF FREEDOM, TO BEING A FREE PEOPLE, TO BEING A NATION. AND THAT’S A TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS. THERE WAS A PROCESS THAT HAD TO TAKE PLACE, AND THE SETBACKS AND DIFFICULTIES AND INCONVENIENCES, TO PUT IT REALY LIGHTLY, OF BEING SLAVES IN EGYPT, WHERE THE PRELUDE AND WHAT GAVE THE IMPETUS AND THE STRENGTH AND THE ABILITY TO BECOME A WHOLE NEW PEOPLE AND PEOPLE READY TO WORSHIP GOD AND MOUNT SINAI RECEIVE THE TORI, ETC. WHAT WE’RE EXPERIENCING NOW COULD BE CHANNELED IN A POSITIVE WAY. TYPICALLY, WE LIVE OUR LIVES IN A RAT RACE, CONSTANTLY GOING, CONSULATE MOVING WITH MANY OBLIGATIONS PULLING US IN EVERY DIRECTION. AND NOW A LOT OF THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD. A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO FOR FUN, A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO, THE ALLEGATIONS THAT WE HAVE, MIGHT SPEND TIME IN SOCIAL STUDYING OR IN THE GYM, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE NO LONGER OPEN TO US IN THE SAME MANNER. WHAT THAT DOES IS, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT, BUT ALSO GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECALIBRATE, CONSIDER OUR ALLIES IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION WE’RE HEADING IN, AND WHETHER WE MAKE CHOICES THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE ON THE SAME PATH OR RATHER PERHAPS MAKE OPPOSITE CHOICES, MAY BE GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, OR USE THIS TIME TO GROW IN OUR OWN, PERSONAL GROWTH, AS WELL. THERE’S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY. IT’S NOT ONLY NEGATIVE. THIS IS A TIME WE COULD USE THE SETBACKS AS IMPETUS FOR GROWTH. ♪ >> THIS IS A TIME OF TRANSFORMATION AND RESURRECTION. AND WE HOLD ONTO HOPE FOR A SAFER AND BETTER TOMORROW. BUT IN OUR HOPE, WE HAVE MADE THINGS POSSIBLE, EVEN NOW, THINGS THAT WITHOUT WERE IMPOSSIBLE WE HAVE MADE POSSIBLE. LIKE HEALTH CARE FOR PEOPLE AND A UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME AND HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS, A NEED TO REACH OUT TO OUR SENIORS AND LOOK AFTER OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, AND TO UPHOLD THIS IDEA THAT EDUCATION AND OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE SO IMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR TEACHING OUR CHILDREN, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SOME OF THEM NEED MEALS, RIGHT? ALL OF THESE POSITIVES MANIFESTED THEMSELVES BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO SLOW DOWN. AND TO SEE THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR CHANGE ALL AROUND U SHARING WITH MY CONGREGATION IS THAT IN THIS TIME OF WAITING, WE PONDER HOW LOVE AND KINDNESS HAVE LED US TO BE ALMOST UNRECOGNIZABLE FROM THE PEOPLE AND THE COMMUNITY WE WERE BEFORE THIS PANDEMIC. AND THAT’S REALLY WHAT LENT AND EASTER ARE ALL ABOUT, TRANSFORMATION AND RESURRECTION. SO WE WAIT IN THE DARKNESS OF THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES, BUT WE ARE ASSURED THAT HOPE AND KINDNESS AND LOVE WILL DRAW US INTO SOMETHING NEW INTO THE FUTURE. ♪ FRIENDSHIP, FAITH, GOD’S GRACE, ALL OF THESE THINGS WORK THEIR WAY INTO MOMENTS LIKE THIS IN A REALLY WONDERFUL WAY THAT EASTER, FAITH, CHRISTIANITY IS POWERFUL BECAUSE OF THIS DYNAMIC THAT WE SENSE THAT FRIENDSHIP AND GRACE AND FAITH ARE ALIVE MOST OF ALL IN THESE TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT AND DISCOMFORT. I WOULD WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY ALL THE BLESSINGS OF EASTER. I KNOW THIS IS AN UNUSUAL EASTER, BUT WHAT I HOPE I’VE BEEN ABLE TO SHARE THIS AFTERNOON IS THAT LOOKING AT THE ORIGINAL STORY, IT’S PERHAPS NOT SO UNUSUAL. ♪ >> WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD. I ALWAYS SAY THIS. I PREACH THE IDEAL, BUT I LIVE IN THE REAL. AND I THINK JESUS DID THAT, AS WELL. THE SHORTEST VERSE IN THE VIRAL -- IN THE BIBLE WAS AT A FUNERAL THAT JESUS WENT TO. AND IT SIMPLY SAID THIS. JESUS WEPT. I LOVE THE THOUGHT THAT THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, THAT SPOKE TO THIS END OF CREATION -- I DON’T KNOW HOW HE DID IT, BUT IT WAS PRETTY MIRACULOUS -- BUT HE TOOK ON ONE OF THESE. IT WAS GOD IN A BOD, AND THE FORM OF SOME JESUS, BUT HE GAVE HIMSELF TEAR DUCTS. THAT BLOWS MY MIND AWAY. NOT ONLY DID HE HAVE TEAR DUCTS, BUT HE USED THEM, AND HE CRIED REAL TEARS. THAT HAPPENED AT THE FUNERAL OF HIS FRIEND, LAZARUS, WHERE HE CRIED. I THINK AT THAT POINT, HE WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE BROKENNESS, LOOKING AT HUMANITY, POWER OF DEATH AND HOW THAT FELT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? HE ULTIMATELY WENT ON TO GIVE HIS LIFE. AND I LOOK ON AN IGO, THAT’S INCREDIBLE, THE HOPE THAT COMES FROM EASTER. JOHN, CHAPTER 19, VERSE THREE, SAYS THIS. IT SAYS IT IS FINISHED. NOW THE BIG QUESTION OF THE MOMENT IS, WHEN IS THIS GOING TO FINISH? EVERYONE IS ASKING THAT. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO FINISH? EVERYONE IS TRYING TO PREDICT IT. EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO BE A PROPHET. WE’VE ALL GOT LIMITED INFORMATION. BUT JESUS ON THE CROSS SAID THIS, IT IS FINISHED. AND IT’S NOT COVID, BUT SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT. HE SAID OUR PAST, OUR GUILT, A LITTLE WORD THAT IS A VITAL WORD, OUR SIN. THE FEAR OF DEATH, ALL OF THAT IS OVER. BECAUSE HE SAID ON THE CROSS, IT IS FINISHED, BECAUSE I HAVE COME FOR YOU AND I’M CLOSE, AND PERSONAL, I’M WITH YOU, QUITE LITERALLY ON THE CROSS, HE KNEW WHAT SUFFERING WAS. SO FOR ME, THE HOPE THAT THAT OFFERS, THAT I HAVE A GOD THAT CRIES FOR ME, THAT HAS SUFFERED FOR ME, AND THAT ACTUALLY DECLARES THAT I HAVE HOPE IN THIS LIFE AND HOPE FOR ETERNITY, THAT’S EASTER FOR ME. ♪ >> WILL BE COULD DO IS WE COULD FOCUS ON WHAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL. WE DON’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE OUTCOME, WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT WEEK OR TOMORROW. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL WHAT WE’RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND WHAT WE WILL DO IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES, THE NEXT HOUR. THOSE ARE THE CHOICES WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON SO WE ARE NOT DEPRESSED BY EVERYTHING THAT’S GOING ON AROUND US. LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL, AND THAT’S SOMETIMES WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE NEXT MINUTE. AND THAT GIVES US A LOT MORE SANITY. >> I BELIEVE THAT WE’RE GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS A LOT STRONGER AND HUMIDITY IS BEING RESTORED AMONGST THE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE’RE HAVING TO SLOW LIFE DOWN AND JUST GET AWAY FROM THIS TECHNOLOGY AND ACTUALLY BE PEOPLE AGAIN. WHEN WE’RE COMING OUT OF THIS, I FEEL LIKE HUMANITY IS GOING TO BE A LOT STRONGER AND THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE LOVE IN THE COMMUNITY. >> WE HAVE A MISSION THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE CHURCH, WHERE WE BUILD BICYCLES FOR THE UNDEREMPLOYED. AND THROUGH THAT, WE’RE STILL SEEING PEOPLE ON A REGULAR BASIS, MEETING AND GREETING WITH THEM FOR THEIR ESSENTIAL NEEDS EVERY DAY. AND THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT THEIR OWN LIFE SITUATIONS. THEY’RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THEIR HOPE FOR TOMORROW. THEY’RE HOPING THAT THEY WILL GET THROUGH THIS. AND EVEN IN THOSE PERSONAL CONTACTS, WE’RE SEEING PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DIFFICULT TIMES, SEEING THAT THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THAT TUNNEL. >> AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOME FOR SO LONG AND IT’S JUST LIKE IT’S GETTING TO A POINT OF DISCOURAGEMENT, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE DOING? THERE’S A CERTAIN OFFERING OVER AND LETTING GO OF THIS SENSE OF WANTING TO BE IN CHARGE AND HAVING THE NEXT STEP. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN A FEW WEEKS. IN A SENSE, WE’RE GOVERNED BY EXTERI FORCES. TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT THERE IS SOMETHING BIGGER IN-STORE, CERTAINLY FOLLOW ALL THE REGULATIONS THAT THE STATE AND THE COUNTY AND SUCH HAVE PUT IN PLACE. ♪ >> IN HINDSIGHT, PEOPLE HAD AN AMAZING TIME. FOR INSTANCE, MY BROTHERS LIVED THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I WAS ABLE TO SIT THROUGH A PASSOVER DINNER BECAUSE THEY WERE ABLE TO ZOOM IN. AND SO I THINK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VERY FLEXIBLE, VERY ADAPTIVE. IN JUDAISM, THE OVERRIDING PRINCIPLE IS FOR THE SAKE OF SAVING A LIFE. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S HARDWIRED INTO OUR RELIGION, THAT YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE. SO I’VE BEEN INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED BY MY CONGREGATION. ♪ >> I DON’T THINK WE CAN JUST SNAP BACK TO WHAT LIFE USED TO BE, EVEN IF SUDDENLY EVERYTHING IS OK, I THINK WE’LL BE CHANGED FOREVER. I THINK WE’LL UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE RELATIONSHIP IS. I THINK WE’LL VALUE WHAT FRIENDSHIP IS IN LIFE. WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE RUNNING A SERMON SERIES AND IT’S CALLED DEFINING MOMENTS, AND LEARNING TO STAND STRONG IN A SHAKEN WORLD. AND WHAT IS THAT GOING TO MEAN FOR OUR FUTURE? WHAT IS IT GOING TO MEAN FOR EVERY SINGLE GENERATION? BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IT’S GOING TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY STRONGER. IT’S GOING TO MAKE FAMILY STRONGER. I HOPE ALSO IT’S GOING TO MAKE SOME MARRIAGES STRONGER BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN STUCK IN THE HOUSE FOR QUITE A WHILE TOGETHER. HOPEFULLY THEY’RE ALL GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS. AND I THINK, AND THIS IS MY PRAYER, AS A LOCAL COMMUNITY IN THIS AREA, BUT ALSO ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE NATION, I JUST PRAY THAT WE GET A LOT MORE CIVIL AND WE LOVE A LOT MORE. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE THE CASE. ♪ >> SOMETIMES WE TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. FOR EXAMPLE, COMMUNITY, GETTING TOGETHER, HAVING A PLACE OF WORSHIP. WILL BECOME OUT OF THIS, I HOPE WE ARE EVEN MORE FERVENT IN THE MAINTENANCE AND THE LOVE THAT WE SHOW TO THE COMMITTEE AND OUR PLACES OF GATHERING. ♪ LISA: SO INSPIRING TO HEAR FROM ALL OF THEM AND GREAT PERSPECTIVE,
