Pandemic Blues

28/9/2021

Pandemic blues seem to have hit millions of people over the last couple of years. We read of couples who were in love falling out of it and being locked in with their former partners, of children not being able to go to school, and mothers home schooling while working online, of an increase in suicides and drug addiction, abuse and other things. It is not a pretty picture. Yet some people have taken the time, saved by working online, to be positive.  One woman lost half of herself through dieting and healthy eating - no more snacking on fast foods lounging in front of the TV. Millions of others have started learning a musical instrument, piano, singing, guitar and drums are apparently the most popular. There are many online sites where you can do it without paying a cent.  And of course, there are any number of world languages that you can learn in a fun way on Duolingo for free. Years ago, I completed the French course, and being very rusty now, considered doing it again. However, having German speaking members of my family am probably signing up for the German course.   Too much of my spare time is spent on world politics, so a change to learning German will be good. The world is becoming increasingly evil: constraints are disappearing. and things never thought or spoken of before, are now written about. The Bible foretold the increase in evil at the end times which, I believe, we are witnessing now. The pandemic has also brought our mortality to mind: we fear Covid. So many we know, or love, have died. A strange and fearful disease. I know an old man who has cancer and diabetes and survived Covid and another healthy, young doctor, who died. Christians are blest indeed. We know where we are going. We are going to Heaven where God dwells in glory, and where some of our loved ones already are.  If you are not a Christian, please use this time to buy a Bible and John Stotts famous book, BASIC CHRISTIANITY to help you understand it. It is your investment for eternity.
