Perspective; a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.
Is viewing the vaxx/mask debate as a "Rights" issue, no longer tenable?
Can the variant be the reason for you to change your perspective?
While you quibble over your Constitutional Rights or that it is a "personal choice", the White House — and the country — has had to contend with a variant that is more than twice as transmissible as previous strains of the virus and so contagious that it behaves almost like a different virus. Those infected with it carry viral loads 1,000 times greater than earlier strains.
Who would have thought, so people in the United States would refuse to get the free and easily accessible shots that others across the globe are desperate to have.
July 4: The seven-day average for new coronavirus infections stood at 12,879, one of the lowest rates since the start of the pandemic.
July 9: The seven-day average for new cases is 17,968, up 40 percent.
July 19: The seven-day average for new cases is 34,852, up 171 percent since July Fourth.
July 23: The seven-day average for new cases is 48,041, up 273 percent since July Fourth.
July 26: The seven-day average for new cases is 55,986, up 335 percent since July Fourth.
July 31, the seven-day average for new coronavirus infections was nearly 78,000 — more than six times the level during the July 4th celebration just 27 days earlier.
August 7th, the seven-day average for new coronavirus infections was nearly 108,832
August 13th, the seven-day average for new coronavirus infections was nearly 122,769
August 20th, the seven-day average for new coronavirus infections was nearly 137,188
Will things have to get to a point the only perspective that makes sense will require a true wartime response if you will, that every option will be on the table, regardless of constitutionality?
Think about it,

A tribute to my father, Lloyd D. Bowerman, who would have been 102 years old today, July 12th, 2024

7/12/24 My Teacher, The musing of an old, slow learner. A tribute to my father, Lloyd D. Bowerman, who would have been 102 years old today, July 12th, 2024   I think one of the greatest gifts my father ever gave me was that he thought, “everyone can teach you something”, and that phrase peppered his father/son talks my whole life.  He came from an impoverished background and retained a special affection for the poor and undereducated, people you normally don’t consider having anything of value to teach “us”. That thought has stuck with me and I’ve tried to practice it, sometimes more successfully than others.  He used everyday examples like; A middle aged coal miner, disabled with black lung, can’t teach you how to maximize the depreciation of a fixed asset, but he can tell you how to stack your firewood so it blows clear of snowdrifts in the wintertime and isn’t sitting in mud in the springtime.  A father, holding three jobs, can give you pointers on how to feed three kids and two adu

For Sunday, February 18th, 2024 Sunday Meditation

For Sunday, February 18th, 2024 Sunday Meditation --When your diet is the bread of adversity and your drink is the water of affliction. Meditation on  Isaiah 30:20-21: "Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, "This is the way. Walk in it." A fellow believer who often finds themselves in the role of spiritual advisor to me offered a real gem as advice.  That advice was to, “ Whenever reading scripture, be especially attentive to words or verses that jump, or stand out at you, or cause you to pause in your reading ”, that this is often a way the Holy Spirit employs to bring our attention to a lesson to be learned, or a message from God that we need to be aware of.  So it was when I was reading in Isaiah chapter 30:20 and 21, "Though the

  12/26/23 “Bettering Ourselves” Addendum .v3 Sunday Meditation While I was working on the concept of “bettering ourselves” I came across a song that fit the subject matter like a glove. Since the post was already getting too long, I withheld mentioning the song and filed it away for another day. The song seems so appropriate I’m posting it as an addendum to the Sunday post. The song is “In the Blood”, written by John Mayor, a prolific songwriter. The best cover of the song is by the acapella group, Home Free, was released in 2017. I strongly encourage you to listen to Home Free sing their cover here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1TqpH6PZBo Here’s the lyrics; Home Free -In the Blood How much of my Mother Has my Mother left in me How much of my love Will be insane to some degree What about this feeling That I'm never good enough Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood How much of my Father Am I destined to become Will I dim the lights inside me Just to sat
