Well, April was another month of quarantine due to the coronavirus. (I like to put in details like that so future generations will maybe understand the context of some of these tweets.) April also brought Easter, as well as my birthday, which was one for the books in a few ways.
Here are the best tweets from the month of April, 2020.
Thank you to journalists and the writers of the gospels. (Same same same…obviously.)

But in this awful season you helping us understand this painful truth:
This shouldn’t have happened like this. It wasn’t supposed to be this way.
Reading a Sesame Street book to Clare this morning and found my mind wondering about doing Punnett Squares to figure out the fur color of monster puppets and I don’t think I’m “safer at home” anymore because clearly I’m starting to go crazy. #COVID19

Me to my 5 year old: “What do you miss most about school?”
— Dean Inserra (@deaninserra) April 3, 2020
Her: “Knowing the day of the week.”
UNDERSTOOD
I was supposed to be running a 5K this morning but it has been rescheduled for October. Good news is I have another 6 months to not train for it.

During our family worship time this morning:

My wife to our children: “How are we saved?”
My five year-old Catherine: “By staying indoors.”
Palm Sunday, Coronavirus edition.
This was greeting me when I arrived at our live stream this morning.

I’ll most likely never be known as one of the great preachers, leaders or pastors of our time.
But I’ve certainly felt like the most loved. pic.twitter.com/z64OVQ2NQ8
My to-do list headers are becoming more and more specific these days:
— Ashlyn Portero (@ashlynportero) April 6, 2020
"Monday"
"Monday, later"
"Monday – the rest"
"Monday or Tuesday if the Lord wills"
"Just at some point between waking and sleeping, what day even is it anyways"
I’m at “opening-night-crowd-reacting-to-Captain-America-wielding-Thor’s-hammer-made-me-cry?” day of quarantine. https://t.co/GQHuM8wlih

It seems ironic for Holy Week to exist at the same time as “Coronavirus’s worst week.” I’m remembering that Jesus entered into the worlds suffering and therefore empathizes with its companions. This week reminds us then that Sunday is coming so let us have the audacity to hope.

The funnier caption to this was just “Happy Easter.” Lesson learned.

imagine having 101 dalmatians and not being able to instagram it

I’m at the quarantine phase with my kids where I told them to take the remote and hit ok on it until a show comes on. They could be watching Frozen, Love is Blind, MMA fighting, I don’t care.
— John Wiley (@john_wiley) April 9, 2020
Surround yourself with people who don't take themselves too seriously, but take Jesus very seriously, and I promise you're going to be ok.

Good night, room. Good night, Zoom.
— Liz Lockwood (@LockwoodLiz) April 11, 2020
Good night, friends speaking all at once in a digital room.⁰
Good night, nobody. Good night, mush. ⁰Good night to the Meeting Host whispering, "Hush."
⁰Good night, stars. Good night, air.
Good night, Quarantiners everywhere.
Quarantine? I’m in.™️

Our grief is strong. Perhaps stronger than we have collectively ever known. Yet, our hope is greater still.
— Liz Lockwood (@LockwoodLiz) April 12, 2020
For those who believe, this hope is Christ. He is alive and will one day make all the broken things forever whole.
This is Easter. This is why we celebrate.#Easter2020
The Queen speaks of light overcoming darkness, and the hope that Easter symbolises, in a special message recorded to mark the Easter weekend. pic.twitter.com/fTFCOSVBtT

I am totally speculating here, but it is possible that with all worship services being live-streamed that more people will hear the gospel today than any other day in history.

“Zoom casual” is going to be a new (lower) level of business casual office attire.

My favorite thing is when you say you don't want to see an ad on facebook the first explanation as to why that they offer is, and I quote, "knows too much."

Me: *WHOM
Neighbor: So what do you do?
— Cort Gatliff (@cortgatliff) April 15, 2020
Me: I work at a church.
Neighbor: Wow! I never would’ve known.
I’m not sure if I was just complimented or utterly owned.
It's not irrational to pray for great and unimaginable things right now.

It's not.

A funny wrinkle to searching for file photos or stock images these days: There can't be that many people! They can't be outside!

Day 38:
The real MVP of this whole ordeal has been the dishwasher.
Since freeing up my schedule, I’ve been able to move Lunch to my 10am slot & Dinner to my 12 o’clock, thus providing an opening for 2nd dinner at 2:30pm & 3rd dinner at 6.
