Re: Covid and the Ministry

My goodness, have we been in such a time when we have witnessed the loss of life. Especially Ministers, I mean this is getting to be overwhelming. Not trying to offend, I believe this was a man made, pre-trial bio weapon, that was intended to do what its doing, yet, people please do what you can to stay away from this virus. Do not take it for granted, people are dying, stay at home.

I would venture to guess you never listened to Alex Jones before. He gets a lot of things correct.

And being wise is not fear, its called being wise, which I can read is not very popular around these parts.

Re: Covid and the Ministry

Tomorrow marks a year since my father fell asleep. It's hard to believe it's already been a year. I'm still pretty messed up about it, though I know the cliches and everything. I am thankful, however, that it happened last fall and not this year during the pandemic. We were able to spend time together with him in the hospital room, singing and praying and, at times, even laughing. I have a lot of sympathy for those who lost loved ones during this pandemic, who weren't able to visit in the hospital; whose loved one passed with no family with them. It's very sad. I also feel for those whose loved ones pass suddenly, like Bro. Drost.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to spend time with my father and be with him as he fell asleep.

I understand how hard it is to loose a father. I’m glad you were able to I spend time with him, take heart you’ll see each other on the other side.

I lost a very special father more than fifteen years ago. The irony is that when you have much love and respect for someone and you’re very close to them, it leaves a bigger hole in your life when they’re gone. It seems that you get more used to the hole and how to maneuver around it, but it is still there. You seem to be grieving in the best way. Focusing on the blessings that were and continue to be yours for having him when you did.

God bless you as you honor the memory of your father.

It's spiritual. It's certainly not something in the water.

Spiritual? Please explain my good man on how you view the Homosexual movement as spiritual?
