Day Forty One! Make Good Memories!

Memories of a summer long ago, sliding into a pool, and swimming in America.

Hopefully normalcy will occur before the end of this coming summer.  In a year from now I wish this all to be a horrid memory, one never to repeated with the level of fear, lunacy, tyranny and hysteria we have witnessed.  Memories……Ah…they can be good, happy, unforgettable, and some, well they are unpleasant memories, and try as we might, they can never be forgotten in this lifetime.  Some of the happiest memories I have are watching certain movies with family.  The movie itself may or may not have been a great movie, but the memory of family time when I remember certain movies is priceless to me.  Each one has a very distinct treasure in my heart.

It will be another Sunday of online services.  Point blank, this does not seem like church to me.  Worship is to be the gathering of the saints, this is watching TV on Sunday morning to me.  People need to be allowed to go to church, we can social distance if it is absolutely  necessary, but we need to be gathered together in person praising God.  This has gone on long enough.  Kansas City MO is wanting to require the names and addresses of people attending church in the city there.  I hope legal defense challenges won’t allow that.  It is beyond reprehensible that the powers that be, even think of something that dictatorial.  I shudder thinking just how much control some in authority are seeking.  I fear what other municipalities in the area, if they plan on something of equal despotism.

I am not convinced all of this is just about public safety.  Too many strange things seem to be happening.  Similar things seem to be going on across the globe, some nations are indeed more strict then the orders in place across most of this country.  However some governors seem to be giving nations under tyrant dictators a run for their money.

Swimming in the great pool that is America, can only be enjoyed when we are allowed to tread the waters of freedom without a government issued buoy.   But through it all, no matter what, God is in control.

¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
