According to a news report, a whole bunch of us will have a pandemic response of revenge shopping when COVID restrictions are listed.

Jason left home to attend college when he was 18. Church attendance was a low priority. None of his friends were Christians. After growing up in the church, he found himself surrounded by people who never discussed faith and professors who were actively hostile to religion. After graduation, he got a job in business but…
