I’ve had a couple of ideas for posts percolating, but nothing particularly compelling or developed, so I thought I’d just relate some recent observations and anecdotes related to covid and vaccines in my corner of Canada. A couple of weeks ago, my husband had an incident of transitory blindness in one eye. I made him an ophthalmologist appointment for the next day, at which they found nothing.
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's blood pressure and I hope he is feeling better. I agree with you re: the difficulty in trusting a medical system that insists on demanding masks contrary to evidence and also with the very tone-deaf notices from companies, institiutions, and every aspect of daily living. It seems like all "decisions, comfort levels, and health needs" are equal, but some are 'more equal than others'.
Sounds like australia is on a very similar page to Canada. It’s trying to go away but some people still clinging to it. Now we need the USA to stop their vax requirement for travellers which is one of the most ridiculous things I can’t believe it still exists.
I started to say something sad and depressing that would certainly have been in place in Kirsch’s stack or Malone’s but here, while I’m no spiritual giant, you have provided a place for thought and wisdom, and I deleted it.
What I have wondered : is God “blinding the eyes of unbelievers”. Or even believers? So many times He blinded people in Scripture to accomplish His glory and greater good. The understanding that God truly IS good , no matter what is, I think, at the core or one of the cores of what God is wanting His own to confess (preaching to myself). To say so in the face of not knowing what He is doing is to proclaim Him and to proclaim His glory. He is at center. I hate that your husband (and you as his wife) are suffering. Praying for you in the midst. Pray for me too. I preach it but when I emotionally hurt or can’t sleep (and therefore my body degenerates and gets old before it’s time as evidenced by my own retinal issue (not serious, thank Him) and newly injured knee, still being evaluated but fortunately the least of most “bad” knee injuries), I question Gods goodness for myself. Again I am NO spiritual giant. But I truly think His purpose is for me to say “You are good” and to believe this, NO MATTER WHAT. Hebrews 11 reminds us that He is pleased when we show this kind of faith. But even when we do not, His Grace is still there, His goodness is still evident, in the Cross, the purity of His love shown by His blood, done for us without our ever believing. We strive to please Him not out of some misguided desire to earn His favor but simply because He did so much for us before we EVER thought of Him, or placed Him first in our lives.
Sorry I think I rambled there some. I was kind of trying to encourage myself and encourage you at the same time. Hope I did.
I love Jesus with all my heart and want to represent Him well, BUT the continuing irrational COVID vaccine push and mask wearing DRIVES ME CRAZY and I find myself looking directly at these people, shaking my head and rolling my eyes! The whole COVID incident has been a test run for what’s coming next!
why, oh S, why are so many of you still running to & expecting any help from the medmafia that are culling us? this ol'mechanic knows ya can't use just a screwdriver to do a job, you need many tools...there are truly incredible results to be had from TCM, osteopathic manipulation, homeopathy,LLLT... all of which saved the 3rd deg burned foot & 'bear paw' oedema in the hand/arm from amputation...no ER,no drugs...no friggin invasive 'tests' causing huge imbalances in an already compromised body , &making recovery nigh impossible...HTH cheers
