We have given thanks for children not affected by Covid-19. We have given thanks for lack of violence in protests. And we have found - trouble.
Thanksgiving to God is never wasted. Hope is not only a positive influence on us every moment we can genuinely employ Faith. Historically, we can trust trouble will occur and in the overcoming we find Optimism, Faith and Hope keep us Alive.
Senses versus sensationalism. More is at work than George Floyd. We have heard the complaints during the Pandemic of ridiculous freedoms being entailed. We have seen fights over masks - in a Pandemic! It's not been widely reported about the solutions. I listened last week to one weary in striving to make a living, "Solutions are childish, we need trade offs."
So we really want to hear all of our problems displayed without the hope of a better next month? If we don't focus on what is working and build up our strength, we will Weaken. Ministry is the example of the Posts, the last two days about the wonders of Jesus Christ. His ancestry is flawed. His Disciples lack faith. Circumstances move against Him. And the reply from the Word of God isn't something so sweet we can't hold on to it with rational faith. All things are interweaving:
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things "Interweave" together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
God tells us, rather unbelievably, we sulk to learn, to focus on God and Love Him. In our rational minds, we wonder if God believes still in lambs and goats and turtledoves being offered. Because there is so much we touch upon and we wonder if God is there. And we find God is wise.
Where are we going to put our focus?
If we look at Pandemic, we find ourselves in fact finding mode. We entrust our senses to finding what is sensational and not find the solutions. Solutions are real. Trade offs are the sacrifices of goodness life requries us to make. To give up hope is applauded as realistic. And alcoholism is 1 in 3 adults. If we are going to applaud a lack of hope - we are going to find ourselves - hopeless.
Realistic. Trouble ends. Applaud the less dramatic solutions.
Realistic. Trouble ends. THANK GOD.
Realistic. Trouble ends. THANK GOD.
Applaud God our children do not have Covid-19 like Polio.
4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Among 345 children with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and complete information about underlying conditions, 23% had an underlying condition, with chronic lung disease (including asthma), cardiovascular disease, and immunosuppression most commonly reported.12
Recently, however, reports from Europe and North America have described clusters of children and adolescents requiring admission to intensive care units with a multisystem inflammatory condition with some features similar to those of Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome. Case reports and small series have described a presentation of acute illness accompanied by a hyperinflammatory syndrome, leading to multiorgan failure and shock.13-15 Initial hypotheses are that this syndrome may be related to COVID-19 based on initial laboratory testing showing positive serology in a majority of patients. Children have been treated with anti-inflammatory treatment, including parenteral immunoglobulin and steroids.
It is essential to characterize this syndrome and its risk factors, to understand causality, and describe treatment interventions. It is not yet clear the full spectrum of disease, and whether the geographical distribution in Europe and North America reflects a true pattern,
THANK GOD THE CHILDREN ARE NOT DYING OF COVID 19.
Realistic. Trouble ends. THANK GOD.
More is at work than George Floyd. Who did not deserve to die. Can you watch the four policemen and not feel ANGRY? NO.
Ahmaud Arbery - can you watch his death and not weep?
Boston. We saw the Klu Klux Klan swamped by 200,000 people making sure Martin Luther King, Jr would see we want His Dream to Live. My childhood saw segregation, seeing people just lose their minds. Living. George Springsteen "Your Hometown".
What can you do?
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My hometown
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back
To your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm thirty five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around
This is your hometown.
Jesus Christ worked with His Flawed Family. Jesus Christ believed in the incredibly bumptious Disciples.
We can't dwell in sensationalism. We dwell in God has faith in us and have Hope. Find the Solutions.
We know Minneapolis is on fire at 3 a.m. on Lake Street.
And we know it won't be soon. Because in the riots, we find why God has faith in us. The Light of Jesus Christ is found in mankind even in the damn riots. The man who broke the window at Ace Hardware was photoed, videos taken and reported by the crowd with him. One cheerful quasi-rioter was horrified to learn rocks had been thrown 'at the police', no way. Local news found him finding out. (The other rioter with him was more goat ish.) When Target was looted, one brave bystander stood and took videos of the looters. Knock, Knock. We want the lamps back. Mr Rogers still sees the Helpers. (Can you imagine being the one filming the looting inside Target. Note to self: increase bravery.) PS, Target took a few videos, too.
Anger is one thing. Violence another. 3 A.M Lake Street saw violent people getting away quickly from The National Guard. Thank You, National Guard, for making sure people can dwell in safety through the night and day without fire.
THANK GOD THE DEMONSTRATORS NATIONWIDE,ARE NOT DYING OF COVID 19.
THANK GOD THE DEMONSTRATORS NATIONWIDE, ARE NOT VIOLENT AND BELIEVE SOLUTIONS WILL BE OBTAINED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR BELIEF AND THE PEACE YOU HAVE SHOWN. NATIONWIDE.
Honor The Peaceful Demonstrators. And include in the ranks of the Peaceful Denomstrators - George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. Their families have lost Good Men.
Honor the Solutions we have to Search Diligently to find. Put down Sensationalism.
ASK to see what Paul Harvey called "The Rest of the Story:"
Mayor Simmons, Greenville, MS
Last week, Greenville police officers issued $500 tickets to drive-in church attendees at Temple Baptist Church and threatened the action at King James Baptist Church.
Mayor Simmons said the actions came as a result of Governor Tate Reeves’ statement on a conference call that drive-in services would not work because “people of faith like to fellowship” .
Outlining the steps he and the City Council took as the city sought to follow CDC guidelines and the Governor’s shelter-in-place order, Simmons said faith was at the center of his administration but a “smear campaign” was begun against him and the city, calling it “unacceptable and reprehensible.”
Mayor Simmons said he and his family have had threats on their life following the incidents.
“These incidents have been taken out of context,” Simmons said. “This is not a time to play politics. This is not a time to inflame unprecedented and challenging times with unnecessary attacks and false narratives.”
Mayor Simmons said the city will not be requiring anyone issued a citation to pay the fines.
