Great post as usual

Quarantine Day 53, NYC Well, we’ve officially surpassed the 50 day mark for quarantine. I feel like there should be some sort of consolation prize for that grim milestone. Like a four-pack of Charmin Ultra Soft and a handle of top shelf liquor or something. At the very least a travel size mini Purell hand…

Covid-19 Lockdown 6

It was a sad start to this weeks lockdown when we discovered the death rate in Britain’s nursing home’s.

However the week brightened up as the days went on my wife and I got a quick visit from our Granddaughter and her mum as we were in the front garden.

It would be remiss of me to not to mention Captain /now Major Tom and to thank him for all the money he raised for the NHS.

Talking of the NHS the general public in the UK were out in force once again in support of these dedicated people.

I have never seen Facebook used in the way it is being used now. One video I seen was a brass band getting together on social media, and that’s just one example of what I have seen

I wonder what next week has in store for us. Anyway till the next lockdown post stay safe and well!

Feeling Vulnerable

Did you know there are many types of coronaviruses, and yeah we all know that this one is called COVID-19. It feels like being in a survival movie except this is real.

The whole world has had to go into ‘Lockdown’ at some point of COVID-19, resulting in empty streets, parks, Public buildings are empty as is shops.

The pandemic is putting a strain on health systems with Europe being at the centre. Apart from the empty streets we seen empty shelves in supermarkets due to panic buying and churches and schools are closed.

Hospitals are full and jobs and businesses are at risk, People are fearing for their health and a host of other things.

Did you know Public health England estimates that on average 17000 people in England have died annually from Flu in the past 5yrs, yet COVID-19 scares us even more than this.

We have had pandemics in the past. One of the most famous has to be the ‘Black Death’ in the 14th century killing an estimated 70 – 100 million people. The most recent pandemic was HIV/AIDS has killed 32 million

So how do we respond

In times like this it wouldn’t be uncommon for people to flock to churches except they can’t under COVID-19 as churches are closed. It is however common for our national leaders to ask for prayer. I have also heard of church leaders asking for our prayers.

Many people are asking where is God, does he really exist an where or from whom can we get solace and help.

Abundance

Matthew 25:26-30 New International Version 

26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

You were the Word at the beginning
One With God the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You our Christ
What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King

The Name of Jesus
You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus, You brought heaven down
My sin was great, Your love was greater
What could separate us now
