My mom always says church is not the building it's inside you. But i miss church. I watched Joel Olsteen on youtube Saturday, it helped and moved me.
I feel God is angry, and is punishing us. Wants us to turn away from worldly desires into spiritual ones. I'm trying but struggling with some of my animalistic tendancies. I want to get the lesson from this because I don't want to repeat it. It's a hard thing to have to settle into life with fewer distractions. But I'm finding ways to entertain myself. Writing a journal, a song with a cowriter, even came up with a new product idea so now am researching how to create it, protect it, etc. It's my million dollar idea. But creating it is a challenge for me. __________________ Son: 14, 12/15/2009 R.I.P.  Daughter: 20  Diagnosis: Bipolar with Psychosis. Latuda 100 mgs. |

I miss church, too. But I have not been going for more than a year now. I kind of liked it but I had stopped going because of the changes they made. A new style and way of worshiping.
I feel very bad about churches closing up because of this crisis. And I feel for those who suddenly have to stop going and the workers. |

Don't you guys worry. Once this pandemic blows over the churches will open their doors again. The angels will be waiting.

I think the important thing to keep in mind is that this pandemic is caused by what some humans did that was unhealthy and began to spread from human to human and it was not stopped soon enough so it spread. Human beings have experienced this many times throughout our human history. This isn't really something God did or is some kind of punishment to mankind by God. This instead is created by humans and something we all need to pray to help us surivive through. At least we have much more advanced medicine now, so many are working very hard to come up with a way to manage it. We all need to be patient while individuals are working very hard to come up with ways to prevent and heal.
