Thursday, Nov. 5

6:45 a.m. - Still don't have a determination on the election of the president yet.  States that are still counting include Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina.  Maybe more results will be revealed today.  President Trump has filed lawsuits and requested a recount in at least one state; I have a hard time believing that he's feeling good about his chances if he is taking those measures.

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (11/5)

According to news reports, some businesses - particularly restaurants and bats - will not be following the mandate of further restrictions.  I really can't blame them seeing as how the school district really isn't following the mandates, nor is the IHSA really following the mandates.  Basically, we as a society are going to move along and ignore the mandates and hope for the best.  I wonder what the determining factor is?  How bad do things have to get?  Where is the "line in the sand"?

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...
