What a sad Holy Week and Easter day this will be this year. Being a Catholic, I have always observed Lent. It just doesn’t even seem like this week will be Holy Week. I barely even know what day it is much less that we are in the Lenten season. It’s hard to stay focused on life these days and it seems survival is what life is all about now. I will certainly miss our family gathering on Easter Sunday.

Wishing each of you a very Happy Easter! This year Easter Sunday will stand out and go down in history and one we’ll never forget! Many area churches are making plans to do something special. Some services will be held online or perhaps on YouTube for their congregation on Easter Sunday. Many are doing this for the safety of their congregation. Several local churches have been holding church on social media, or online for the last couple of weeks. Most area churches will not be holding services in their church this Easter Sunday! Be sure and check with your church to see what plans they have made for their Easter services.

Happy Easter to all! Please, check for any events that you were planning on attending, to make sure it’s canceled. The Governor’s stay at home order has everything shut down or canceled. Schools are closed until May 4, and I’m sure they won’t be open after that either. Only essential services are allowed to remain open. Houston leads the state on the number of COVID-19 cases.

The Board plans to put out blue and silver pinwheels at the incorporated cities throughout the county. A proclamation recognizing April as Child Abuse Awareness month has been sent to all the cities and representatives of the Board plan to read proclamations at the April city council meetings also.

As we spend our days at home with loved ones, searching too often bare shelves at our local retail stores, or making a quick stop at a favorite eating place for a to go meal, please take the opportunity to offer an encouraging and cheerful word to all within speaking or waving distance, our hearts need that essential uplift, perhaps now, more than any time in recent memory. Thank you to all who remain at their duty stations and to those who are keeping the home fires burning during this season of trial and testing.
