Turning Our Insecurities into Groceries

     Grocers - among our new national heroes! But still no toilet paper at this Costco I visited in the morning when it first opened. People were tossing paper towels into their carts. Do they plan to saw it up and use it for TP?     
     Who would have imagined that TP would become the new American collectible? Elsewhere in Denver, a cop broke up three women fighting over some precious rolls. But we’re all taking inventory because the average American uses 100 rolls per year.     
     As I’m waiting in line to check out, I study what others stash in their carts as “essential” items. One man stocked up on beer, vodka, muffins, and cookies. He may not even remember this pestilence once it’s passed.     
​     I want to remember every lesson I learn from these uncertain times. Lessons about the importance of simple things like toilet paper, the fragility of life, the value of each other, and that in ways I don’t fully understand, God’s got this.
