a short year-in-review from David and Burna Dunn

Hello colleagues. Yes. We are alive and well, albeit a bit cloistered. Was it Br’er Rabbit who said “Please don’t throw me into the briar patch”? When COVID settled in, I thought, “Please don’t make us do a mandatory lock down!” Introverts, Unite. But to make up for lost time due to isolation, here’s a little 2021 update. ’20 and ’21 called for fortitude and trust. Today, I’d say that 2022 will demand courage for some measure of fierce engagement and calm for withdrawal to regroup. I pray for courage and calm.
