By Doug Inglish … For some of you, this might be new, but I’ve seen this before.
When I was a young driver, not really needing my own car, yet but finding it necessary to borrow one of the family cars from time to time, I had enough sense of responsibility to put some gas in the tank now and then. No big deal. So, by the time I did buy my first car, the habit of paying for my own fuel was well established.

Gather in prayer Matthew 18:20 tells us: “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” We know that there is power and comfort in prayer.

Stay informed Staying informed is important during times of humanitarian crises. Whether through verified and trustworthy social media channels, digital news, newspapers or your favorite news channel on TV, make sure you tune in to a reliable news source.
Take a break We are all living through very stressful times and it can be difficult to escape the constant barrage of bad news. It’s important to find the balance between staying informed and caring for your mental health! Be sure to take a regular break from the news and even your social media.
