It
has arrived. That ominous, yellow cloud
of eeriness that floats across oceans and continents, seeking unsuspecting
victims to engulf with the creepy claws of its respiratory nightmares. None other than the traveling Gorilla
Sandstorm of the Sahara Desert has made its official appearance, not only into
the confines of North America, but right into our back yard here on the
Island. It hangs, just hangs over our
heads, obscuring views of the Bay and of the tops of Galveston’s rather short
skyscrapers. Well, actually we only have
one of those. But you certainly couldn’t
see the top of the American National Insurance Company building. And as you drove around town, you could even
hear the tiny specks of sand crashing into the windshield. It is indeed a veritable nightmare for
sufferers of respiratory issues from severe COPD to minor allergies. But perhaps the worst part of it all … now
people have to ponder the answer to that fateful question every time they hear
a sneeze. “Is it Corona or Gorilla?”
Speaking
of Corona, Chris went to UTMB to have her required Corona test yesterday. Come to find out, it is now required protocol
for anyone having a surgical-type procedure to also have the testing. It was a fast-track test, so we got the
results back within a few hours.
Drumroll here … She is negative.
All is good for her shot in the back procedure on Monday. But here’s the other issue. Since she had the test yesterday, she has to
essentially quarantine all the way up until the procedure to make sure she doesn’t
catch it. There goes our planned
mini-trip this weekend. Kel is preaching
for me tomorrow already, so our quarantine will even include church. Oh well.
It’s not like we haven’t been quarantining already … for four months.
1
Corinthians 3:19 says, “For the wisdom of
the world is foolishness in God’s sight.
As it is written, ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness.’”
Father,
thank you for the good result on Chris’ test.
We now pray for some good results on the procedure Monday. Amen.
