UPDATE on John Pavlovitz

If any of you follow him on Twitter or read his blog.

Not only did his entire family struggle with COVID but he was just operated on for a possible benign tumor.




His wife had been keeping us updated on his surgery.

He said it was only going to knock him out for a few days. I hope he's well on the road to complete recovery now.

so I spent about an hour scrolling through a few weeks of his tweets. (Lots of reposts, but all good.) I then realized his new book just came out, too, so I bought one for my family and one for our neighbor who has a birthday coming up:

When John and his whole family (all fully vaccinated, with the exception of the youngest child) got COVID at the beginning of the summer, I started questioning whether "breakthrough" infections were as rare as experts seemed to think at that time. (Before they realized Delta had changed things.) I made sure my vaccinated family returned to earlier best pandemic practices.
