So I’m starting to notice a bit of frayed edges on people. We have a bit less grace with each other in some interactions, especially written. I've done this, too. This is probably part of isolation-toll. Tempers and patience can be shorter. Let’s work at it, people. Kindness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, and we need to extend it to each other, as we are stretched in our own capacity to adapt to all the adjustments.
2. Lessons to learn
Our society puts so much faith in medicine, science, government, and the economy. We are seeing the limits of each, to a staggering effect. God is knocking each of them down a peg. Not that they aren't normally ways God provides for us, but we idolize them - look only to them for solutions, or for perfection they can't give. Instead of turning to God, we are leaning IN to our idols. Yikes. Almost like when Dagon fell in his temple when the ark was put in it, and the priests just set him back up again (1 Samuel 5).
3. Nanny state, or needed restriction?
It's frustrating me that some state governors, including mine, are acting like our school marms, with detailed direction, and long diatribes, like we can't think for ourselves. But then again, maybe we really are this dumbed down as a society. Recent meme online: "how will Walmart get customers to wear masks when they can't get them to wear pants?"
