In this episode I talk about learning to accept the things we cannot change and knowing what are the things we can change, and using our influence in these areas to create a positive environment to the people around us, especially this season of the Covid pandemic.  In Melbourne, the city metro area has gone into the unprecedented stage 4 restrictions, which is really testing the mental resolve of all Melbournians.  However, in the midst of all this, true freedom and peace are still possible to those who believe the all-knowing, all-powerful,  all-loving God is ultimately the only one in control.  We hear from a sweet young creative in Melbourne who is using this isolation to create music and art that expresses how she feels during this season of Covid 19.  Other ways to reach me...
