Covid, Covid, Covid

     In times of stress, I sometimes ask God what He would say to me and, in the last few years, He has been kind enough to answer. Not verbally, of course, that would scare me to death. Just words, impressed in my mind. Mostly encouragements. And, even those, I fact check to make sure they agree with God's Word, because are not objective about God's leading no matter how much we try. And God does not always choose to answer. He did not when my father-in-law was dying. But Wednesday I was talking to the Lord about Corona virus, that I know that He is sovereign, but He knows our rulers are idiots. Unexpectedly, I heard, "I am sovereign over idiots." Definitely Biblical. I hadn't felt particularly stressed by the Covid restrictions and I had not asked for a message from the Lord, but there it was, and it was encouraging. So much so that I composed a little Covid song to the tune of the "Rawhide" theme.

 Covid Covid Covid

My brain's overloaded.

You would think we're all going

to die.

Your life might be in danger

if you touch a stranger

unless you're masked and gloved

don't even try.

Hoarding is an issue

can't find toilet tissue

or flour, but no one 

knows why.

Can't go get a haircut.

Eating out means take out.

Drive thrus are the best way

to buy.

We might just go ballistic

from scary statistics.

Their numbers have all been

much too high.

Wash your hands!

Stay at home!

Sanitize your cart!

Keep 6 feet apart 

or die!

Wear a mask!

Put on gloves!

Follow all the rules!

Til we live like we did.

Covid.
