I just returned from my planned trip to Winn Dixie here in NW Florida Land. I’m proud to report that I was able to overcome my fear today. I used a bandanna with a coffee filter taped inside. I don’t know if it worked, I’ll find out in 6-10 days I suppose, but it did fog up my glasses, and made them fall off my face twice, which of course I had to use my hands to my face to return them there. D’oh!

But I also want to say that, upon further reflection, I think I am going to go against my nature and do my best not to, I guess, antagonize people with whom I’m not in agreement.

We are all going through this together. Some of us are angry and scared of this, and others of us are angry and scared at that, but this is weighing on everyone in every possible way.

Even those who I think are the worst of the worst for whatever reason are just doing what they think will best defend what they, specifically, are weakest too.

Mercy. That’s one of the things we’re going to need to win in the end. Mercy.

I’m going to try my best. I don’t need to be right. I’m just trying to stay alive like all others.

I think you’ll be fine.

I go through that every time I shop, wondering if I did enough and if I washed my hands enough etc.

Right now, I have my facemasks hanging out in the sun to disinfect.

You life is in God’s hands and although we may not like what we migt face in this life, I striongly suspect that when we look back, we’ll wonder what the heck we were worried about.

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
