This isolation/insulation is for the birds. No, wait. I see birds out flying around, though I guess most that I see are indeed at least six feet apart as they practice social distancing. I really dislike that term, by the way.
As different states and some specific locales begin to "re-open," it is interesting to see how they are entering and moving through the process. More interesting has been the way in which the Constitution has been set aside. It may have been in the name of public safety, but when the "law of the land" can be ignored for any reason a terrible precedent has been set. Who will get to decide when the guidelines that govern our society will next be ignored or rejected? We are but a significant natural disaster or another pandemic from martial law. Some are serious, but many are missed forecasts; think swine flu, bird flu, hurricane forecasts that miss by hundreds of miles or significant mph. The Land of the Free is far less so today that it was three months ago. Even after re-opening, we my have a hard time getting back to where we were at that time, let alone getting back the freedoms that have been lost over the past years.
Well, today is Mother's Day 2020 and a unique day it is. If your mother lives some distance away, then a phone call or video chat would be normal today. If your mother lives reasonably close, then time spent together might be the norm, but for many it will not happen today. That said, a "thank you" is still very possible and quite appreciated. Take a moment and express your gratitude to Mom; she did more than make PB&J sandwiches. In my case, God has richly blessed with mom who loves him dearly and seeks to serve Him each day. She humbly helps her family and friends whenever she can, but most importantly she prays for her friends and family. I am grateful for the mom that God gave me and I am thankful to her for the example she has set over these years. Thanks Mom.
