Imagine someone being so evil and so full of hate for a President that they would actually conspire with other elected officials to murder almost 100,000 citizens, just to get a political advantage in an election year. Well Democrat Governors in CA, NY, IL, PA, MI, NJ, and other states did just that. They murdered elderly nursing home citizens so they could take out Trump.
I share this from my heart, because of the women in the picture above. These women were in essence, like my surrogate Mothers and Grandmothers. I loved these ladies, and I can only imagine how angry I would be if I knew that a politician murdered them just to get a political advantage for an election.
When I took the picture in June 2008, little did I know then that 7 Months later 4 of them would die quickly within 3 weeks of each other. I was in my 2nd year as their Sunday Pastor and my 3rd year as their Monday night Bible study teacher. I would be in the position for a total of 4 years. Now every year I had members of my congregation who came down with a cold or the flu, and sadly one did die from complications brought on by the flu the first year when I was only their Monday Night Bible Study teacher, but none would be seriously sick again.
That is until the Winter of 2009-2010. Well, that Winter was worse then usual. In a matter of three weeks just after Christmas, 4 of the the women were stricken with the flu and died. One lady, Cece, already had a breathing problem due to a life of dealing with asthma. She was on oxygen and passed away before anyone realized how sick she really was. The other three were quite healthy, yet they still succumbed to the virus rather quickly. I would later learn that it was the SARS flu that sent them home to Christ.
You may remember that over 87 million Americans got sick from the SARS that Winter. I was heartbroken, because these women were like my own Mom, or Grandmother. I knew in my heart they went home to be with our LORD whom they dearly loved. Thus, the sadness I felt was soon replaced with joy for them. They had all been followers of the Lord for over a half a century, and now there pain and suffering was over. I can honestly tell you that those in my congregation all looked forward to the end of their trials. Not so much that they wanted to hurry it along, but still they looked forward to their meeting with Christ. I know there were other deaths at the nursing home that died from SARS, how many I did not know. As I stated, it is something that happens every year.
Most of you know, that every Winter during the cold and flu Season it's the elderly, and those with pre-existing medical problems who are effected the most. Every one of us can think back through the years and remember when either ours or a friend's relative suffered severely due to the viruses passing around in the Winter Months. It's a fact that colds and flus are worst in the Winter, because we are all closed up in a house with no windows open to clear the air. Colds and flus do come on in the Summer Months, but people are outside and the heard immunity kicks in so that whatever strain is out their we all get immune to it until the next Winter. That's when we are again locked up in close quarters with no fresh air to disperse to clear out the viruses, and the sickness again takes it toll. Something we have dealt with for tens of thousands of years. Thus the very act of locking us all down in our homes was the most ridiculous and deadly thing ever conjured up. Yet we know why it was done.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) numbers show that 2009-2010 was more severe than COVID is. As for the death rate, the CDC reported that 10% of those who got infected with SARS died that year. You do the math, with 87 million being the number CDC reported as having contracted SARS. Mind you, we were NOT mass testing like today and SARS still dwarfs the number who have tested positive with COVID this year. Imagine if we were mass testing back then? Yet we also know that the number of elderly who died from COVID-19 this year is extremely high, but it did not have to be.
Had Governors back in the Winter of 2009-2010 ordered hospitals to send patients ill with the virus into nursing homes as they did this year, the numbers of elderly deaths from SARS would have dwarfed the total number of deaths for all COVID cases in the United States. I can only imagine how many more Mothers, Fathers, Grandmothers, and Grandfathers at WindChime would have died that Winter, had the Democrat Governors practiced the same policy they put in place this year. As I said, it would have been devastating. In fact the death toll of all Americans would have been well over 2 million. Yet, Obama was President and they didn't hate him. Nor did they want to politically hurt his chances of getting re-elected.
What the Democrats did, was commit mass murder to take out President Trump. They did what China does every year. See, in a communist country, a citizens worth is what they can do for the good of the country. Citizens are slaves. If a citizen cannot produce, they must be illuminated. Millions of elderly and useless Chinese citizens are murdered every year. What, millions died? Oh well, problem solved. The Chinese government invents diseases to kill people, especially the weak and elderly. After all, a dead man doesn't have be fed or sheltered.
Today, the Democrats are practicing the same thing. Their only motive this time is to gain power by taking out Trump. Never Trumpers and RINO's are also part of the problem, because they stand by and allow the Democrats to do as they please. Mind you, if they ever gain the power they crave, they will use the same method to control us. Trust me, once they have power, they too will have to murder us. Like China, we are expendable and useless once we cannot, or will not, produce.
Now, as I said, I was at WindChime for 4 years before leaving. Well, I did not leave on my own accord. See, in the Summer of 2010, a new Director was hired. Before then, the Director of the rest home was a nice respectful man. He wasn't a believer, but we got along well. He left me alone to teach and preach as I felt the LORD lead me. When the new Director of operations was brought in. She was a lesbian, who replaced much of the staff, and eventually stopped me from being the Pastor or Bible teacher.
While I was not all that crazy about the new Director, I kept my feelings to myself. Then the week leading up to Easter, I received a call while I was preparing my Easter Sunday message. I was told that I was not welcome back to WindChime, and that they found a new person to do the Sunday messages and teach the Monday Bible study. When I asked why, I was just told it was for personal reasons. Eventually I would visit some of the ladies and inquired what they knew about the reason I was told not to return. I asked if anyone complained, and they all told me no. They said it was the Directors decision, because she heard part of my message and considered it to be Homophobic. Mind you, while I was not particularly targeting the woman's sexual preference, I did not shy away from a passage in the Bible that was part of what I was teaching. I never have and I never will back down from speaking the truth, and neither her's nor anyone else's misguided beliefs was going to stop me. Sorry, the only one I need approval from is GOD himself. Well she decided my teaching was not good for the residents.
When I started giving Sunday Sermons 2 years earlier, there was but 5 women who attended my services and no men. When I was told to not rerun I had well over 20 women and a couple of men who usually attended the Sunday service. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but considering their age you can imagine how the attendance would fluctuate. I referred to them as the Women of WindChime, because the men would attend the services maybe once a Month or so, but many of the Women were seldom absent. My Monday night Bible Study usually had about 4 to 8 Women. A few Months after I was told not to return, the Sunday attendence was down to 3 maybe 4 residents, and the Bible Study ceased to even exist.
I share this to let you know that I had a good following, and felt I was on my way to having even more residents come by. Under the previous Director, I was even allowed to present one of my Christmas messages in the main lobby where relatives and friends would come through as they visited their loved one's for Christmas. So I had a large crowd of maybe 75 people who heard my message. The sermon was titled, "Adored By Misfits". I have the audio in mp3 someplace on my HD if anyone is curious and would like to hear it. Just pm me and I'll upload it to a drop box and share a link to it.
Something else happened that took me by surprise. Neither the Pastor nor any Elders of the Church lifted a protest to the new Director. They were silent. Well, it wasn't long before I found myself attending another Church. I did do some Bible Studies and give a few sermons at other nursing homes and retirement centers in Chico. However, never again did I experience the warmth, joy, and closeness I felt from the Ladies of WindChime. Many things have happened since, and I have not been so Blessed to be in a position like I was at WindChime. Probably more of my own doing since my wife has had medical complications and I have been struggling off and on again with some physical issues myself. However, the LORD has been good too me.
As a last note, please keep all our elderly citizens in the nursing and retirement homes in your prayers. So many forget they exist, but they are there, and some are physically and mentally abused. Not just by evil attendants at times, but by the Democrat politicians who will even condemn them too death if it will advance their communist ideas.
