- BH Whitehurst shares how COVID has affected her. She explains how this "unseen enemy" has been giving her trouble, particularly related to her struggles with GERD. She reflects on how the virus has affected the whole world, "from the least of us to the greatest of us." She cites her belief in religion as the reason that we will survive this: we need to "keep our mind on Him, and not on this invisible, evil force."
