COVID-19: Seeds of goodness in the midst of the pandemic
In recent weeks, we have all experienced a state of unrest. Our eyes have been on the rising numbers of COVID-19 infections, as we try to comply with the restrictions imposed by the state of emergency. But we have also had bright moments, moments we might not have anticipated just a short time ago.

No doubt has overtaken us, except that which is common to mankind

Pope Francis: What remains after his pontificate?
"Christ is risen! These words capture the whole meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life".

Ellen G. White (1827-1915) is considered the most translated American author, with books bearing her name being translated into more than 160 languages.

Staring death in the eye
"In films you often get dying words – someone gasping out things like 'Please tell Jim I love him', which sort of makes me laugh. I've never seen that happen," says psychologist Lesley Fallowfield, highlighting the discrepancy between how people usually die and our misperception of how life ends.
