It is the 26th day of a ‘stay at home’ order. There appears to be movement in the right direction to get this economy open and moving again. That is, at least on the federal level from President Trump. The state of Texas too is about to step up and swim in America again. Man they have a good governor. Governor Greg Abbott is in my opinion, top notch. The people of Texas are blessed to have him. He like FDR is confined to a wheelchair, his by an oak tree falling on him while jogging, FDR was stricken with polio. I believe though the two politicians confinement to a wheelchair may be where the similarities end, unless someday Governor Abbott runs for president. He would have my support in 2024, depending on what Vice President Pence’s plans are for 2024 and 2028. Were we to have a President Abbott, then politically, no comparison between he and FDR. Governor Abbott is not a socialist, unlike what some believe FDR was.
The government has begun issuing stimulus checks to qualified US citizens to help restart the economy. The ideal of the checks, from what I understand, is to spend at least some of it on the local economy, to stimulate it. My plans are to indeed spend some locally, pay on a bill or two, save some, give some to my church, and some to a charity.
In some ways, this shutdown of the world economy, to me, is somewhat reminiscent of September 11, 2001. Most everyone in the United States born before 1990 probably remembers full well exactly what they were doing on that day when they heard the news. I’m sure the really young remember their parents loving on them a little tighter that day. No one wants to go back to those days, but one thing did happen, Americans came together, we were united in defeating the terror. And we will stand and fight again. We will have each others back through this, and we will win. And if something more ominous than just a virus is going on, we as Americans will defeat whatever enemy seeks to harm us. Foreign OR domestic. By God’s grace, we will return to an even better normal.
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:31-34 ESV
