This Whole Damned Thing

This whole damned thing has me blue. Depression can be kind of magnified during times like this. We are all trying to make sense of it all. Prepare for worst, hope for best as they say. Sure, pray to God for help but its not the only thing you can do. The world has enough death before this pandemic and its like piling on. As a grown person I know life is a gift and fleeting but still too many people have so much more life to give and the whole thing doesn’t make sense or something like that.

You will enjoy doing something different this coming weekend.

Support Local Eats

During the virus crisis it’s important to support local businesses. Today I ordered Chinese food (my favorite sesame chicken) for lunch from Hunan Wok through Uber Eats. Local places need the support in a big way now.

So many establishments are having to modify the way they operate and serve customers that it’s having a impact on their bottom line. Support local and you can’t go wrong.

Keeping The Faith Through The Miracle Of Technology

This past Sunday my priest delivered morning prayers on Facebook live in the place of our normal worship service which was canceled due to the Coronavirus. Many houses of worship are doing the same.

My religious study group Education for Ministry, did the same thing Monday. Via the web meeting service Zoom, we gathered together from 8 different places online to keep going. It truly is amazing how technology is bringing people together.

Fellowship is about gathering together and it was great to be able to do this to have a meaningful discussion about how we have been spiritually impacted by Coronavirus and to share how this is changing our worship experience. We also discussed our assigned readings on the book of Hebrews from The Bible.

I think this system of electronic gatherings is what will keep us together during these uncertain times. We have some members of the group who don’t need to be getting out and about. Gathering together in person is what we prefer but this is a great system to be sure we are checking in with one another and keeping safe.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Everyone Celebrate Safely #stpatricksday

May the luck of the Irish be with you. Be safe in your celebrating. Have a blessed day.

How Is Everyone?

Just checking in…how is everyone today/tonight. Times are tough but we can keep tabs on one another because its the right thing to do. Grace, peace, and love to you all my friends.
