Where do you put your faith?

I hesitate to even write this blog.  My heart is heavy.  I read about people in Nashville being arrested and fined for not wearing a mask...including a homeless man.  I go to Walmart to get vitamins, and turn away when I see everyone being herded into one door...each person wearing a mask.

I hear about a friend being verbally attacked when walking into a store because she DARED to come into the store wearing her scrubs.  (She is a receptionist at an eye clinic which is not even seeing patients.  She merely sits and answers the phone.)

We are all going like sheep to the slaughter, and trust me, there IS a slaughter coming.  I told John boy that I wanted to start wearing a yellow star pinned to my clothing, but he said he was afraid our Jewish friends would be upset.  I'm not so sure.  I think they, of all people, "get it."

When we are with friends, the conversation invariably goes to the covid problem.  We tend to focus on the current problem in our world.  Finally, someone says, "let's talk about something else," and we do.  When we aren't actually out on the streets or in stores, it is much easier to focus on things that are uplifting rather than things that bring us down.

I was starting to get really "down" today after I read about what was happening in Nashville, then I thought of a verse of scripture.  (Scripture is what has gotten me through all this craziness!)  It is Psalm 20: 7.  It goes "something" like this...

"Some trust in face masks and some in hand sanitizer, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."  (Prisha version of the Bible.)
