Rambling with Mrs. Arlene Praise the Lord everyone. I pray you are all well and being safe. This coronavirus is taking a toll on people all over the world. So many have lost their lives and left their families hurting and missing them. It is a really sad situation we find ourselves in. So many people are sick and trying to fight this thing. I know God loves us and cares what we are going through. But, how much do we care about those who are suffering? What are we doing to help?? I feel like that as Christians should join together and pray harder than we ever have. We need to touch God and ask him to do away with these viruses. It’s beginning to look like God is the only person who can do anything about it. Doctors are working and doing the best they can and it’s getting worse every day. They are trying to get a medicine made that will cure it, but they say it will be the end of the year before they can even try it. How many have to die?? Let me share something with you. God is real and he can do anything he wants to. But I feel like when he looks down at this world he created and sees all of the anger between people of all colors whom he created, and sees all the murders and shootings that take lives, I think it breaks his heart. So maybe, he has decided to send this virus to get our attention. You see we can’t do anything about this, the doctors can’t find a way to stop it, but God can stop it with a snap of his finger. If all the people all over the world would come together and learn to get along and stop fighting, I believe God would move. I also believe if all people, christian or non-christian, would come together and try to work out our differences and get along, we would see a world that would change. We would see all the killings, stealing, and being ugly to someone because of the color of our skin disappear. It’s something to think about. I’m nobody’s judge, that’s God’s job. But, I’ve kept my silence as long as I intend to. I’m a white woman and I’m married to white man. Whatever other people do is between them and God. I just want to make it to heaven and take as many people as I can with me. I love all people. If I come upon someone I feel like I can’t get along with, I just speak and go on. God is no respecter of persons. He loves us all. Please give him a chance. I’ve got to go. I love you all. Thank you for reading my articles. Stay safe, pray much, and fast all you can. Help me ask God for mercy. Call me at 662-803-4690 or write me at 40 West Alice Street, Noxapater, MS 39346. I hope to be back next week. May God bless us all.
