Easter is the most important religious holiday in the Christian calendar. And what is it about? It’s about Jesus dying, then springing back to life.
So “springing back to life” is a big deal to Western Civilization. Having the Angel of Death “Passover” us is a big deal to Western Civilization. It's at the very foundation of who we are.
That’s why they call the season, “Spring”, too… after the Season of Death (i.e. Winter) passes (over).
And if the stuff in the news is to be believed, it looks like the death toll from our friend the Coronavirus is going to be much less than first predicted. Hospital beds are going unused. Ditto with the respirators. The crisis is beginning to recede, and the world springs back to life.
We are alive. It’s our job not to die. It’s our job to find new ways to come alive, by any means necessary.
Anyone who’s been in healthcare (doctor, patient, caregiver or administrator) knows that Nurses make the world go round, and that’s never been more true than right now.
It shouldn’t take Nurses Month to honor the amazing men and women who sacrifice their health on a daily basis to care for us. But since it’s coming up in May, the Gapingvoid team is collecting stories from our community to create a special ebook to celebrate Nurses around the world.
We’re asking all of you to share a story of a nurse who has impacted you in your life so we can feature it in the ebook that will make for a very special digital gift.
Submit your story as a Thank You Card to a special Nurse in your life to be featured in our National Nurse Month EBook!
