Did you hear about Danny Meyer?

He's head of a company called the Union Square Group. He was just forced to lay off 80% of his employees. So he started an employee assistance fund then donated his entire salary to it.

Then there's my friend Angelica Lopez, a financial planner. She just came out with a book on gaining control of your finances. She was going to sell it. But now she's giving it away.

Then there's my friend Ginny Baldwin. She took the time to send me these 6 tips on surviving quarantine:

These friends remind us that what we need to get through this is generosity, kindness, connection, selflessness, and faith to believe we will make it.

This weekend we mark Palm Sunday and the death of a man who stood for all those things. We will hear the story of Jesus from arrest to trial to crucifixion.

This means that at the height of this pandemic, you and I will descend, with Jesus, into the depths of hades.

But let us go like Danny, Maria, and Ginny, confident that while we may be facing hell, we are only just visiting. 

God is near. 

Together we will make it.
