HIDING
As lay persons, we have no true knowledge concerning the health state of the world today. We may guess that the numbers and severity of major killing diseases is minimized to protect government, health, education and industrial institutions. The truth may never be known. We have to realize that when world officials mandate or suggest hiding behind protective shields to guard themselves and others and to reduce disease, it’s worse than we realize. People in positions to know the threat set an example that should enlighten us to the need of practice masking. My Grand Daughter, Leanne Madison, a rising Dr. in anthology must wear eye masks, nose and mouth masks (double) and a full face shield. Gloves and protective clothing are also required along with contentious disinfecting measures. Stats may be boring to some but necessary to others for clear understanding. Consider:
Current Virginia COVID-19 cases 76,373 +940; Deaths tolls 2,025 +12
United States cases. Today's stats: The U.S. surpassed 3.6 million cases and over 138,700 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Updated Global cases July 19 at 6:00 AM local 14,288,898 Confirmed +181,846 with deaths 602,138 + unverified number
"The Uncounted" — Experts estimate tens of millions of Americans contracted corona virus but are not included in official tallies because of testing errors, misdiagnoses, a sluggish public health response and ignorance about the disease.
There is a seeming lack of understanding as to the magnitude of this pandemic. In the US there is an ignoring of virus avoidance practices necessary for its control. (John Hopkins University)
Americans are defying travel bans.
Not everyone is staying home this summer. Some travelers are shrugging off the resurgence of COVID-19 infections, ignoring the shutdowns and vacating anyway. Half of Americans plan to stay put this summer, according to a new survey by Luggage Hero. But 31% have taken a domestic trip since lock down restrictions were eased, and a remarkable 19% have traveled internationally. (Christopher Elliott)
Gov. Ralph Northam issued an order May 29 requiring Virginians to wear face coverings in public indoor settings, including on public transportation. The mandate applies to anyone age 10 and older. You should have been wearing a face mask when you left home?
As corona virus cases rise, many governors are instituting or renewing orders requiring people to wear face coverings in public. Most of the orders require people to wear masks in both indoor and outdoor public spaces where social distancing isn't possible. There have been hidings recorded biblically.
Genesis 3:10 “And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” (Adam to God)
Genesis 18:17 “And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;” Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah)
God often hides himself, others or things for the good of His children. We are hiding our faces for the sake of others. Know God, know peace. Amen. 07-19-2020 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
