Well it happened. With almost zero level of shock, the person who was elected governor of the state in which I reside, has further extended what was originally a 30 day ‘stay at home’ order until the first of May, at least. Too bad that her executive order pen can’t get some other things actually good for the people of Kansas. To her credit, at least she didn’t buy fancy expensive pens to hand out to document the occasion. This unlike what the highest ranked national official of her political party did for a sham witch hunt, when attention and resources could have been directed to something more important. Like say, I don’t know, maybe a coming pandemic?
The picture above is of a fishing pier on Cross Lake in Shreveport LA. When I was growing up, I spent many hours fishing there with my dad. The last time I saw that pier is from this picture, it was basically all gated up. I don’t know what has become of it, this photo was about a decade ago. I was never much of a fisherman, I think I just enjoyed spending time with my dad on the lake, enjoying a can of Coke. That is what we called a soft drink in the south, a coke. It didn’t matter if it was actually Coca-Cola brand, Pepsi, RC Cola or Fresca. Just for the record, it was most probably a Coke anyway, that has always been my most preferred choice. Now, it is Coke Cherry Zero. Yeah I know, the sweetener in it probably isn’t the healthiest in the world. That is nothing, I think a lot of things happening are a lot unhealthier than artificial sweeteners. No, not COVID-19, but the fear of it to the point of completely shutting down life, almost literally, will be, if some common sense doesn’t take a hold. There are people who seem perfectly content in only coming out of their fallout shelter to maybe run and get a few essentials, then run back, and call that surviving. And they are not happy with just their resemblance to a life that was, they want to chastise those of us who want to responsibly restart the economy, and try to keep this country strong. What some seem happy in doing, that is not surviving, it certainly isn’t living, it is, barely, merely existing. It is, I believe, time to start making definite plans for the very near future. We have to be ready. Use common sense, most importantly, trust God, dive in, and let’s swim in America again.
Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
