Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Covid19 Reflections


        The battle with Covid19 has been a long, tough one.  If you, like me, have spent most of the last five months isolated at home, then you habve probably developed many interesting thoughts.
          Recently a friend posted these thoughts which just might represent some of our experiences.
          1.   So let me get this straight, there's no cure for a virus that can be killed by sanitizer and hand soap?
          2.   Is it too early to put up the Christmas tree yet? I have run out of things to do.
          3.   When this virus thing is over with, I still want some of you to stay away from me.
          4.   If these last months have taught us anything, it's that stupidity travels faster than any virus on the planet, particularly among politicians and bureaucrats.
          5.   Just wait a second – so what your telling me is that my chance of surviving all this is directly linked to the common sense of others? You're kidding, right!
          6.   People are scared of getting fined or arrested for congregating in crowds. As if catching a deadly disease and dying a horrible death wasn't enough of a deterrent.
          7.   If you believe all this will end and we will get back to normal once we reopen everything, raise your hand. Now slap yourself with it.
          8.   Another Saturday night in the house and I just realized the trash goes out more than me.
         9.   Whoever decided a liquor store is more essential than a hair salon is obviously a bald-headed alcoholic.
         10.   Remember when you were little and all your underwear had the days of the week on them. Those would be helpful right now.
         11.  The spread of Covid-19 is based on two factors: 1. How dense the population is and 2. How dense the population is.
         12.  Remember all those times when you wished the weekend would last forever? Well, wish granted. Happy now?
         13.  Did a big load of pajamas so I would have enough clean work clothes for this week.
         14.  Sleeping late is considered lazy, but waking up early and taking an afternoon nap is fine.
         So what do you think?  Have you had any of the same thoughts?  Now let me think, what day is it today?
