When you declare the most quoted verse in the Bible upon your life: "For God so loved me or your name, He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for me or your name.”—when you personally experience His love in your life rather than merely reading or knowing about it.

When educators worldwide join forces to pose grades pre-K–12 Covid-19-related math questions, and to encourage students to have a shot at them, which aims at honing their problem solving skills and protecting them against illogical or irrational thinking.
With millions of people presently being vaccinated against COVID-19, the time couldn’t be more apt during this pandemic for math teachers and homeschoolers to promote the “Get Your Math Jab!” slogan to their students and children.

When the mind’s eye could see clearly how fake, irresponsible, or inept political leaders’ selfish actions (and inactions) led to the world’s failure to contain the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
In the aftermath of many leaders’ fake 2020 vision, even with vaccination presently being rolled out in many developed countries, life in 2021 is unlikely to return to its pre-pandemic days.
