I had a lot of time to spend with God because of the pandemic. I didn't really go anywhere or do anything. However, after being quarantined with my mom and little brother for a little over a month, I needed a break from them. Of course, I love my mom and little brother very much. But, we were getting on each other's nerves. So, I went to stay with my grandparents for a couple months. They needed someone to keep them company, and could use some help figuring out technology so they could hang out with their loved ones. 

During the pandemic, my grandparents' small, conservative Lutheran church was smart enough to hold sermons and bible studies online instead of in-person. That meant, I could sit and listen in on the sermons and studies. Of course, my faith had changed in such a way that I disagreed with nearly everything the pastor and others had to say both in the sermons and in the bible studies. But, I stayed silent and off camera, critiquing the sermons and bible studies in my mind instead of speaking my thoughts.
