That nuttiness led me to write my award-winning book, The Bard and the Bible: A Shakespeare Devotional, which pairs quotes from his works with verses from the King James Version of the Bible, as the KJV and Shakespeare’s works were produced in the same period, nation, and city, by men who knew each other.

Fear can be crippling. If we let it, it will become our master and sit on the throne in our hearts. And here is the crazy thing: We can’t make fear go away. And we wouldn’t want to even if we could. Sometimes fear is helpful to keep us from doing something stupid. But it can also paralyze us, which is stupid too. Right now, fear is in the air, it is spreading faster than the virus.  To help us …
