What can man (this world) really do to me anyway?

Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also. Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say:“The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:1-6)
Covid-19. . . Protests . . . Jobs . . . Family . . . Future?????

All things seem to in flux today in our society! Yet God reminds me today to stay in His presence more than ever! What can man (this world) really do to me anyway? I am reminded to love the Body (yes...church is back!), keep caring for the less fortunate and depraved, cherish my marriage, and TRUST GOD!

I admit I am a bit frustrated! Right at my 60th birthday Covid-19 began to arise here in the States. I then began feeling pains of a hernia but could not see a doctor (since surgery has healed it). There was no real anniversary celebration in May, nor Mother's Day, no typical senior celebrations for our son, racism and injustice raised its ugly head bolder than ever, and now no real Father's Day (rain on top of Covid-19). To top it off, no one knows what school will look like in the Fall....

I feel trapped!

What next? God only knows. . . and in this I must place my trust! I fear only God, Who holds me (Luke 12).

What can man (society) really do to me?

To my young people . . .Enjoy life with restraint

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and in the sigh...
