John Hopkins: Fungi Nightmare in the Making<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamentations 3:58<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have taken up my cause, O Lord, you have redeemed my life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Peter 2:21-23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps. \u2018He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.\u2019 When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBC health newsletter reported how a man came home for a long weekend, walking up his drive he vomited blood on his driveway, ended up needed a new liver (cause of cirrhosis unknown), four years later went in for a liver transplant, and spent more than a month on IVs with multiple superbug infections (infections resistant to antibiotics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is more and more common. Surgery is getting to be dangerous, because of the killer infections that come with it. Covid should have woken us up to the huge risk we are at, across the world, to unstoppable infections. Instead people want Covid to be over so they say it is over and behave as if it\u2019s over, but it\u2019s not. We will suffer greater death and losses of health because of it. People don\u2019t want that to happen, so they live as if it is not already happening. Wanting it to be, does not make is so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk up one\u2019s drive, after a long, hard work week is supposed to be the beginning of a kind of rest and recuperation. The walk is the beginning of \u2018walking it all off\u2019, so that one is ready to be with one\u2019s family, and then ready to return to a productive work-week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin is worse. We cannot just \u2018walk it off.\u2019 We can pretend it does not exist, which only deepens the sin\u2019s ravaging in our lives, like superbugs denied and thus let loose to run havoc more freely in our midst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only God\u2019s forgiveness can save us from sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also from the sin of denying Covid, and the dangers of super bugs: bacteria, viruses, fungi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without God\u2019s forgiveness, redemption, and renewal of us, we cannot engage to help one another survive come what may.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we celebrate each morning, noon, and night (and also this day) with the writer of Lamentations: \u2018You have taken up my cause, O Lord, you have redeemed my life.\u2019 And we pray that we may be delivered from diseases that cannot be cured, again today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
