Pining, went back home to East Texas last week for Thanksgiving with the family. Will do so again in December for Christmas, just like I did in May and September because I wanted to see them and be home.

The years of our life are not in our hands, but how we spend that time is important to God.

Thank you for posting.

Prayers for your loved ones and you!

The only thing, I believe about this damn virus are reports from people like you and a female in law who lost her mother to CV 19 in March.

“It is my experience that it is females who are terrified of COVID.”

That’s my experience too. Not every female but they are disproportionately terrified.

Well, there is fear of God due to His perfection and power.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Psalm 111:10

and Proverbs 9:10

Also it seems that people like to be afraid. That is why they ride roller coasters and watch horror movies. Perhaps having something to be scared of distracts from their mundane, boring life. I know the media goes from one scare story to the next, whether it’s global warming, killer bees, the end of fresh water, or whatever.

I have no fear of God-never did.He enjoys us and I enjoy Him.
27God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’…
