I tested negative on Sunday, began showing symptoms yesterday (Tues., Oct. 3, my “day zero”), and tested positive today. This is a moment that I am deeply grateful for our hybrid/remote arrangement.

I will never email you to ask you to buy gift cards or make other online purchases, and I will only contact you by email from the addresses minister@saltwaterchurch.org OR minister.swuuc@gmail.com. If you receive a suspicious email, DO NOT …

Thanks, Rev. Allison. I wish I could feel compassion for the scammers, but I seriously don't. I wish that I had a karma mirror, and could defelct back upon them all the harm that they send to others. I have to suppose that they do this from some pla…
