Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (10/2)

I woke up this morning and turned on the news like usual - a bit earlier than normal around 4:30 a.m.  NBC had a special report that the President and First Lady have tested positive for the virus.  Apparently one of the President's top advisors tested positive on Wednesday, and now there will be likely more positive test results as the President had had a busy schedule this week, including the debate with former Vice-President Biden on Tuesday.  Ya, it's a mess.  While I'm not a fan of President Trump, I don't wish him, his family, nor his staff to become seriously ill.  The after effects of this will be interesting to watch, though.  I wonder how this episode with the virus in the inner circle of the White House will change things; it's going to be an interesting Friday.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see;

    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit. 

                                                                     Amen
