Personal aha moments during the COVID-19 pandemic:

 
  • There really IS such a thing as work-life balance.

  • Not all books on the bedside table need to be read word for word.

  • Because of #2, it IS possible to whittle down that pile of books. (see #1)

  • The profound truth that: we [can] boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us. (Romans 5:3-4)
