Read the Signs

I saw these directions while shopping at a store. These directions on the floor are signs of our covid-19 times. When we follow these directions, more social distancing occurs, which leads to physical safety. 

Yet, these directions also bring to my mind the concept of spiritual safety. 

Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. 

The principle: There is a right way and a there is a wrong way. Key words: leads to destruction and leads to life

It's interesting what connections we can get from images.

Stay safe,

Wake All The Way Up!

I made a mess this morning. I loaded my trusty old drip coffeemaker to brew a fresh pot, then I went back upstairs. When I returned to the kitchen, coffee and coffee grounds were all over the counter. It took me a few minutes before it dawned on me that I had put the coffee filter in the machine and filled it with ground coffee, but didn't put the filter into the removable holder first. What a waste of good coffee! My lesson for today: when I stay up late at night reading and writing, make sure I'm all the way alert in the morning before I operate the coffeemaker. 

You do something odd in your morning routine because although you are out of bed and moving around, you're not fully awake. Has this ever happened to you? Or is it just me?😊

We Got The Shot.

 It's been close to a year since I began the pandemic survival behaviors: mask wearing, social distancing, much handwashing, staying at home a lot, limited group gatherings, no dining at restaurants, and such. When a vaccine was first announced, I held back because it seemed to have been created so quickly. What about movies like the 2007 " I Am Legend" (starring Will Smith) and other movies depicting a man-made cure that went so wrong? I didn't want to get unplanned, negative side effects and so on. But then, I watched the huge numbers of daily deaths due to Covid-19. Next, the new variants of the virus marched onto the scene. When an opportunity came along,  I seized it. FEMA, the army, our governor's and mayor's offices, and a faith-based initiative offered Covid-19 vaccines to those eligible. I signed up, and so did my very senior citizen mother. This picture reminds me of our vaccination experience. It was well-organized, the staff was very pleasant and informative, especially the military team. Plus, the needle didn't hurt at all and the side effects were minimal. We marked the date for the 2nd dose on our calendars. Please do what you need to do to survive this pandemic. Did you get your shot yet?  I ask because I care.

Thankful😌,
