I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land. So I’m happy tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.  – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

So how’re you doing with the pandemic these days now that our state is mostly open and “the numbers” are still rising… even here in our beloved Beaufort? Naively, many of us keep hoping that because we want this strange time to return to some semblance of normal after sheltering in place and please let us get back to life as we knew it “before,” it will magically happen. But it seems that instead, new uncertainties keep arising. 

       It’s cheesy, but what if I told you I am always looking for a silver lining and I discovered one in COVID? I was hoping to get into something lighter than COVID for this article, but if doing what I do has taught me anything, it’s to go where I’m drawn—to go where I feel I can help.
