Spielberg is demonstrating he understands airborne infection and how to mitigate it! He’s outside at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and he’s wearing a KN95! A good respirator protects you and those around you. Covid is not over and a mask is a great way to stay healthy.

If you are worshiping alone at home today, Or at home with just your family, Not because of laziness or deconstructed faith, not “dechurched” but ”dischurched” By circumstances or policies beyond your control…

“O holy and blessed Trinity, help me to dwell so fully in the mystery of this heavenly love that all hatred and malice may be rooted out from my heart and life.” John Baillie (1886-1960)

NINETEENTH DAY
EVENING

MOST gracious God, i rejoice in the love you have shown to our poor human race, opening up to us a path of deliverance from our sin and foolishness. 

O God the Father, praise you for your great and holy love. When we had utterly gone astray, you diligently sought us out and saved us, sending your beloved Son to suffer and die so that we might be restored into fellowship with you.

O God the Son, I praise you for your great and holy love. You humbled yourself for the sake of me and all people; you shared in our common life; you dwelt in the midst of all our sin and shame. You endured all the bitterness of the passion and died at last on the cross, so that we might be released from the shackles of sin and enter with you into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

O God the Holy Spirit, I praise you for your great and holy love. You daily pour into my heart the peace and joy of sin forgiven, so that I may share with all the saints in the blessings of my Lord's incarnation, of his passion and crucifixion, and of his resurrection and ascension to the Father's right hand.

O holy and blessed Trinity, help me to dwell so fully in the mystery of this heavenly love that all hatred and malice may be rooted out from my heart and life. Help me to love you, as you first loved me; and in loving you help me also to love my neighbor; and in loving you and my neighbor help me to be saved from all false love of myself; and to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be all glory and praise forever. Amen.Black words on pastel turquoise book jacket:

a little brown dachshund puppy sits on her tuchus on the concrete floor of a gym, back paws splayed out and pink puppy belly on proud display. a loaded barbell is sitting on the floor in front of her, and she’s resting one front paw on the bar. she’s giving the camera a look that screams “are you kidding me right now,” which is extremely relatable.

If you’re pregnant please wear a well fitted mask like an N95. Pregnancy makes you high risk for Covid complications. There’s no risk to masking and cleaning the air. More & more studies are showing that Covid during pregnancy harms a developing fetus. Mask up.

COVID-19 in Pregnancy Linked With Neurodevelopmental Disorders

This Medical News article discusses new research indicating that children whose mothers had COVID-19 during pregnancy were more likely to be diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder by age 3 years...

Unborn people made in God’s image, dependent on others to care and make decisions for them, have been and are being harmed by SARS-CoV2 infections. One more reason to mask: to avoid harming expectant mothers and their unborn children. Harming these little ones grieves the heart of God.

Virus resulted in altered neonatal brain volumes in the regions of the cortical and subcortical gray matter, cerebral white matter, and the left hippocampus.
• Changes in cortical gray matter mediated deficits in cognitive scores at two years of age in children who were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in utero.

#OneOfTheTwo still masking Thanks to consistent wearing of N95 or KN95 mask, I have not had any communicable illness since March 2020. This has improved my chronic illness baseline and enabled me to enjoy the outdoors with fewer allergy and asthma issues. I only wish I’d known to wear them sooner.

If you are alone today and wish you weren’t — Estrangement from family, Chronic illness and disability, Finances prohibiting travel, Refusal of accommodations essential to your safety, Old age— God sees. God knows. God hears desperate cries. If you are in Christ, you will never truly be alone.

If you’re traveling this holiday season, please wear a mask. Flu and Covid are both surging. No one wants to be sick for the holidays. A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects you and those around you. Give yourself (and others!) the gift of good health this year!

Your companionship would be a gift in this effort to read the Bible prayerfully, one chapter at a time. Also, enjoy the gratuitous photo of a yellow male house finch. 😊
