Psalms for Divine Protection from COVID-19

Psalms for Divine Protection from COVID-19

admin_jayna2020-06-18T16:20:05+00:00

The Psalms have gained prominence among Christians since the rise of COVID-19. Psalm 91 has been particularly popular. This is understandable given that it speaks of how God will save you "from the deadly disease" (v. 3, NLT), and the assurance that "pestilence" and "plague" (v. 6, NIV) "will not come near you" (v. 7). How are we to interpret such claims in the Psalms? What are we to think when we read that "no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent" (Psalm 91:10)? Promises to Claim? Some conclude that such words are God's promises that we [...]

Leading through the COVID-19 Crisis – Lessons on the Run

Leading through the COVID-19 Crisis – Lessons on the Run

admin_jayna2020-06-18T16:20:31+00:00

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everybody. Within the span of a week, it put our small, non-profit organization into a cash-flow crisis, forcing us into temporary wage reductions and layoffs to reduce expenses initially by approximately 66% and requiring us quickly to identify new ways to generate income. As we've been forced to make quick, high-consequence decisions and to take unplanned, unhappy actions over a remarkably short period, I've been circumspect on my thoughts. Writing helps me think, and my thoughts took the form of advice offered to a senior leader (myself), describing the steps I see myself taking to [...]

An open letter to our constituency The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everybody. It's changed our everyday behaviours, disrupted our regular social patterns, and affected our spiritual and mental health. In the span of one week, Horizon went from a vibrant on-campus community to a locked-down and mostly empty facility. We don't take for granted how seamlessly we were able to transition from in-class to exclusively online course delivery. I know many colleagues and students in other institutions who are still struggling with the transition. Thankfully, we had the infrastructure and practised professors already in place. But for all [...]

Mental Health Support in SK During COVID-19

During this COVID-19 crisis, it is important that we are taking care of our mental health. The Provincial Government recently released a statement highlighting various mental health support networks in the province. They state: All Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) mental health inpatient units for adults, children and youth remain open for admissions as needed. Community mental health sites remain open, offering most services by phone. However, they have maintained capacity to assist clients and patients in person if necessary. Group-based services have been discontinued, but clients and patients are being contacted by phone. The SHA continues efforts to reallocate resources [...]

We're all a little anxious in the midst of this COVID-19 storm. But please remember that is is a storm - a fierce and terrible storm, for sure! - but a storm all the same and it will pass. Right now we, along with the rest of the world, are forced to bunker-down and wait it out as best we can while preserving as much life, laughter, and normalcy as we can. On March 19, all students who remained on campus completed the onsite portion of classes and most have moved out of residence. Horizon's facility is now locked down to [...]
