I’m afraid idk what that means. Are you saying I’m a liar? I’m just going off the CDC, WHO and everyone who posts stats. Death % are down. I’m sorry if higher than expected survival rates upset you.
The moral of this story.....if you are fortunate enough to go to a game this weekend.......SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
I know that there are many who think that this is being overblown and this is some vast government conspiracy to scare us into compliance. I don't care.....SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
There are some who say that these rules don't consider the current science. I don't care.....SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
I know that there are many who don't like masks because they are uncomfortable! I don't care......SPREAD OUT AND WEAR A DAMNED MASK!!!
I can tell you that there are a number of UIL rules that many coaches don't agree with, they comply with them anyway because they know that they will face consequences if they don't.
If the UIL is pushed to closing down sports, they will blame those of us who didn't comply with their guidelines. It won't be right....it may not even be true...but it will be what they do.
Look, I am slated to broadcast the Lumberton/Coldspring game on Friday night. I plan on wearing a mask all throughout so I apologize in advance. If I can wear it for 3 hours, so can you.
No, SP canceled what was supposed to be Colmesneil's Week 2 game back on August 22nd which Laura had not even entered the Gulf yet and was still slated to hit Florida.
Nothing but a blow hard! Why don’t you let businesses open up a 100%! The scared people can STAY HOME! He sure didn’t freeze tax hikes this year on our property and homes!!
The place I would worry about is Austin, then Houston, but Houston has already upped their ante. I hope we haven’t lost Austin. I love the hill country. Liberals ruin everything.
I think I can agree with most of the above. It's ok to fight back when one is threatened. Judgment is for all. Not just the ones who need it the most.
I again think of the words of Edmond burke.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Soon all good Christian men will have a choice to make. I stand with my brothers of all colors. Knowing that our faith will unite us in the times ahead.
Help me with my thinking. Morality tells the truth, but moralism lies. Morality is not about saying the nice thing, and moralism can unify people, but the truth divides people. Moralism gives room to immoral things. ,like abhorrent political views, such as Political Correctness and Political Correctness is Cultural Marxism. Moralism says “I should not say not nice things”, so to say you can always trust a communist to lie or the only good communist is a dead communist, is wrong and should not be uttered, because it is not nice to want people to die , or call people habitual liars. Even though said communist will lie and kill people, history has shown us that Communism or any other type of totalitarian form of government kills and imprisons people for not following the mandates of the state. Morality says “this is wrong and must be stopped , at whatever cost ,even at the cost of our own lives because “we love our neighbors” who will die or be imprisoned when Marxist ideas become law.” It is easy to be moral ,and it is easy to hide our cowardice under the veil of moralism. But morality will not allow this. I am reminded of the story ,of a church, in Nazi Germany in the 1940's that was by a train station, and one Sunday a train filled with Jews heading to the concentration camp stopped, and the church members could hear the cries of help from the train. Morality says "go help these people", but sadly all the church did was to mask the cries for help by singing louder. These church folks were no doubt "good people''; they loved their family, worked hard, were educated, they paid their bills and submitted to the government, but their moralism did not help those who were being led to slaughter. (Proverbs 24:11-12)
It is easy to judge people from the past, and the last thing I want to do is set on a moral high-horse and say “I would never have allowed that”. Not when we see "wokeness" and a Marxist revolution going on in our country, and is destroying my neighbors property and life. Not when my neighbors livelihood and job is being lost because they are deemed non-essential, because my health and safety is more important than the well being of their family . Not when the state is threatening to imprison or fine people for not wearing a mask, in the name of my health and safety, as they let real criminals out of jail so they do not catch the COVID. No, I better stay off that moral high horse becuase the COVID might kill me, but the abortion clinics kill thousands of babies a day. Moral people will take a knee when they are scared, but morality tells us to take a stand. In the Bible we learn what type of people will not enter the kingdom of heaven, and I can check the “I am more moral than those sinful people” box on many of them. I am not a sodomite, nor a thief, I am not a drunkard, I am not a fornicator, I am not an adulator, I am not effeminate, I have never murdered anyone, but the one that scares me, the one that probably got those “good” church folks at the train station though and the one that will get many people today is "cowards will not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Revelations 21:8) See morality does not allow for cowardice, neither does God ,for morality is of God, moralism does allow for cowardice. For moralism allows us to justify our immorality before God. But here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst (1 Tim 1:15). So I am glad that I am saved from my sin of not only cowardice, but all the other ones on the list.
My point is, morality is not nice, at best apart from Christ we are moralist and in Christ at our worst we are moralist. So how do we as Christians apply the gospel in our everyday lives as lawlessness and tyranny become the norm. How do we live this out in courage, with sound minds able to think clearly ,and deeply as the foundations are destroyed. What is the proper way to apply force if the mob comes to our house, if the government comes to steal our children and the law of man sides against us? How do we not submit again to the yoke of slavery as Galatians 5 tells us not to do. I do not wish to think like a child, I wish to put away childish thinking. It is 2020 and America is a post-modern and post christian nation, so being in the majority probably means you are doing something contrary to the gospel. How can we love our neighbor as ourselves when our neighbors are losing their unalienable rights? So do not give the moralist reason, give me the gospel reason. Is not being a coward telling everybody God loves them, or is it entering into their suffering? Does entering into their suffering mean we literally fight with them in battle as our grandfathers did in WWII are we to be pacifist? Do we stand up to bullies and punch if need be ,or do we just help the victim after the bully gets through with them? Can one stay neutral in a civil war? Last time I checked there is no commandment of thou shalt be nice, but the church seems to think there is and the other 10 do not matter. Do we believe the Bible when it says there is a time for war and a time for peace ,and what are the consequences if we confuse the two? I am not looking to be a good little boy, but a strong Christian man. Like I said any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
I got two weeks off work as of the end of Friday a week ago. This past Monday I went to a COVID 19 screening location here in Houston. I stayed in my car, in line for 10.5 hours, from like 7:15am until 6:05pm.
Long story short I received a call this past Thursday at 6pm. saying that I tested positive. So I am quarantined for sure. I can go out in the yard. Mostly I stay inside. I am not complaining. I read all the stores of other people and what they are going through. It could be worse.
The stream of the worship service for my church comes on in 1 1/2 hours or so. Looking forward to that. Happy Sabbath.
What happened to being Texans?
Remember the Alamo!
Remember Goliad!
Now it’s “self isolate”, and elbow-bump. We cancel the Houston Rodeo? I’m ashamed; I expect this in California and New York. Sucks for all the seniors.
