Been thinking about faith and church lately.
It occurs to me that so many, even clergy, get the whole premise of Christianity wrong.
The Bible is not at the core of Christianity. The resurrection is.
The Bible is man made and is fallible.
Jesus is infallible.
Jesus died for our sins.
Jesus rose.
Jesus loved.
Jesus is love.
The Lord’s love is unceasing.
Love moved first.
Love moves first.

People have asked me why I’m so vigilant about testing and why do I wear my mask even though I’ve been vaccinated & booster’d.
The short answer is, I love you. I am around so many people from so many walks of life who have their own preferences of what “safe” means for them… and often it’s not the same as the medical community has recommended. So, it’s my preference to shield myself and my loved ones from risk as much as possible.
This week I heard from a teacher in Boston who is fully vaccinated and got a booster that contracted COVID-19. Breakthrough infections aren’t common, but not out of the realm of possibility.
Praying he has a mild case because of his precautions.
As for me… I continue to test weekly.
I continue to wear a mask indoors in public.
I continue to wear a mask outdoors when surrounded by people.
I continue to show my love for others by slightly inconveniencing myself.
It’s love.

I am very conscious of the lack of masks around me while indoors these days at stores and public places. Personally, I am around so many people in an enclosed setting (work) that I feel that me wearing a mask in these setting is my way of protecting those who refuse to protect themselves and their loved ones. Plus.. I’m protecting myself and my loved ones as well.
It’s an outward expression of love.
And… as much as I see the judgement in some people’s eyes when I walk into a store wearing a mask… I am trying to work on judging those unmasked who laugh at, scoff, or make a snide comment when they see me and my family in masks. It’s a process. I’m trying to lead with love… but sometimes I fail.
But… I feel it’s important to post that aspect as much as posting the weekly tests and sharing my experiences.
I will continue to try and let love lead.

As long as I work/live in an environment surrounded by folks who aren’t/can’t/won’t get vaccinated I will continue to test weekly to assure I’m doing my part to show I love you by making sure I’m being as safe as possible.
