Working at home without hair dressers and makeup artists has shown us that they, like us, don’t live in a perfectly glamourous mode.  Watching talk show hosts trying to interview guests while kids climb over the interviewer or the interviewee has shown us everyday chaos much like our own.  For me it has humanized those polished faces we see on the small screen.  The ones that I have always liked now seem more real as we get a small glimpse into their family lives.  Are you surprised at how much alike we all are?  We have many of the same struggles and fears.  We celebrate the small triumphs of  life: graduations, baby’s first steps, and hidden talents discovered. We all experience the sorrow of broken hearts and lost loved ones.  We delight at having more time together and yet at times need a break even from those we love.  In short we are all human.  This virus crisis has not left anyone out.  We are reminded that we are all on the same level.  For the virus that puts us all in danger, but for our standing before God, we are all equal.  What a wonderful opportunity that is.  In Christ “I’ and “we” are gloriously linked.  For in Christ Jesus we all matter equally
