A sermon I watched was titled “Loneliness.” You would think the most lonely people would be those living alone or people in nursing homes. Generation Z (born between 1965 1979) are considered to be Tops in that category. Due to the electronic availability, they are said to be at the top of the scale in loneliness. They have a big quantity of friends, but not quality of friends.
Ever get this feeling? “I don’t feel like getting dressed or cleaning, or anything. I’m not lazy. I’m being energy efficient.” This may feel good for a day or so, but you are putting yourself in a position to get depressed or lonely. I know of people who are working from home and are required to dress as if they were back at work in a business situation! This certainly makes sense to me!
Do you have a house fly problem? You might want to try this! “Fill a clean gallon sizes plastic bag with water, seal it up with a tie, that comes from grocery store. Hang this up above where the flies are. The fly see’s its reflection on water moving in the bag and thinks something is going to eat them. You can put a coin or two in the bag of water too! I have done this next to the back door.
This seems to be a first. Hollingsworth Enterprises, Inc. is having an on-line Auction on May 18-27, 2020, visit their website. They usually have a church group to provide refreshments for their auctions. This will be a big disappointment to some youth group that was planning for their summer camp funds.
Blonde girl and red head girl friends met for lunch. While they were chatting, the six o’clock news showed a story of a man threatening to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. The Blonde girl bet the red head $50 that he wouldn’t jump. The red head said, “I’ll take that bet!” Sure enough in a few minutes, the man jumped. The blonde gave the red head $50. The red head said, Rosie, I can’t take your money, you are my friend. I have to admit I saw the five o’clock news, so I can’t take your money. “Well,so did I said the blonde, But I never thought he would jump again!”

News flash! “Coronavirus doctors keep falling out of windows in Russia! Three Doctors who complained about testing positive for COVID-19 reportedly fell from hospital windows. Two died from their injuries - third left in critical condition from skull injuries. He recently complained, in a video, about being forced to work despite his positive test.”
“A woman was cooking eggs when her husband came in and shouted, “be careful put in some butter.” Startled at his violent behavior, she ran to the refrigerator to get the butter! “You’re cooking too many at one time, to many, turn them, turn them now! Careful, careful with those eggs. You never listen to me when you are cooking eggs!” At this point, the wife starts crying, since she has no idea what to do. She gasps, “what’s wrong with you? I know how to cook eggs!” Husband simply smiles, remarks, “I just wanted to show you what it feels like while I am driving, with you in the car!” Then he walks out the door!

Wearing a face mask is better than wearing a Ventilator mask. Staying in your room is better than ICU. Washing hands is better than washing your life away. Praying is better than complaining right now!
Measures to restart the economy does not mean COVID-19 crisis is over. It only means we now have room for you at the hospitals!
Had I known, in March, that it was the last time I would be in a restaurant, I would have ordered the dessert!
Dear God, I pray that your light would break through the darkness, in every one of our 50 states. I pray that people who don’t know you, even those who defame you’re name, would see who you really are. I pray they receive your mercy and forgiveness and turn from their sinful ways. Only you can change us, Jesus!
Have a blessed week!
