   Prompt: "Write about a time when you or someone you know acted selflessly. What was the motivation and what were the results?"I would have to say that Jesus Christ on the cross was without doubt the greatest act of selflessness in human history. In fact it was this act that created and is human history. Everything, even the way we count time, hinges on that one single act. It was 2020 years ago that Jesus was born so all of history hinges on His life and the one single act that ended it. I am so grateful to Jesus for the grace and love it took for Him to die for me. His sacrificial death has made all the difference in my life. It has pulled me from the gutter of drug addiction and into the glorious realm of His ever lasting presence. I am a new creature today because I trusted Jesus and allowed Him to work in my life transforming me into a new creature. Prompt: "Places are opening back up as the restrictions are lifted. How do you feel about this? Do you think we'll be able to return to the way things are?"I think you meant to ask if we think we will be able to return to the way things were? My answer is that I think people will return to the way things were but I don't think it will be a smart thing to do. I think some of the things we have done during the pandemic were healthy changes. For example, what is it going to hurt if we do wear masks to prevent us from infecting another person? I won't and I don't always wear a mask. I am in a room by myself here at the Veterans Home so most of the time when I am alone I do not wear a mask. Then when I step out of my room I may or may not come back and get it. Most of the time I do come back however because I do not want to be a carrier of some illness that I breathe out and thereby infect others. Washing my hands doesn't do any harm either. What really irritates me is when people politicize this thing and say "Yes. You liberals want all of us to wear masks because that is what the Democratic leaders want." First of all I am a conservative. I vote for the candidate that has the most conservative views, but that has nothing to do with the pandemic. To say the pandemic is a host perpetrated by the liberals as one idiot said is ludicrous. Perhaps they would like to explain to the thousands who lost their lives that they aren't really dead because the pandemic did not really happen! I'm sorry, but to be so bold and loose with people's lives makes them the liberals! Prompt: "Let's talk about the weather. Is it your normal or are you having different patterns? How are the plants adapting?Man oh, man! Talk about small talk! Yes. The weather here is great. It's about 65 outside or whatever that is in Celcius. It is beautiful. West Virginia is typically very pleasant at this time of year. It's supposed to rain tomorrow I hear though. So tell me, how has Quido been since I last saw him or whatever other kinds of nonsense you want to discuss?     |
