June 19 – “Thanks for the sips …”


The inevitable has happened.  No, I don’t mean one or both of us has tested Coronatively positive.  I mean for the first time since back in January or February … drumroll here … we drove into Texas to make a Sam’s run.  And boy, has Sam’s ever  changed things around.  It’s actually set up kind of like a WalMart on steroids now.  Long rows.  Clearly marked aisles.  Very nice frozen and cold food section.  And even a separate dairy section in the back.  The stock seemed to be up to date as well.  We were able to get toilet paper for us as well as the church.  They also had plenty of paper towels.  As far as masking goes, I would say most people were wearing one.  Not everyone.  And the ones that did have them on were actually covering both nose and mouth, so that’s a step above WalMart, at least. 

Speaking of WalMart, we have to head over there for some groceries this morning.  In fact we need to leave pretty quickly.  Apparently the city is expecting another influx of crazies coming to the Island for the weekend.  And it’s possible the car enthusiasts will be back.  That would be the ones who just drive around and block traffic to look at each other’s cars.  They don’t go to the beach or spend money at hotels or restaurants.  Just block traffic and sometimes get into “legal difficulties.”  So, here we go.  Off to grocery with the rest of the white hairs …

Revelation 21:6 says, “He said to me: ‘It is done.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.’”

Father, thank you for that promise of life water.  And thanks for the sips you have already allowed us to have.  Amen.
