What I see here, in my part of Toronto, a lot of people are home as the traffic is significantly lower than usual, but part of that can be it's March break and I guess parents has to find ways to entertain their kids in and around where they can. Businesses are shutting down increasingly as SOCIAL DISTANCING is being stressed and encouraged here. All the staff where I work who can work from home are doing so now. The place is really looking like an apocalyptic movie minus the physical destruction. Driving by, most restaurants and takeout place has the chairs on the tables and only takeout or drive trus are operating. Most places now are posting letters asking customers to pay by credit or debit card. So things are heating up in that front. People living in apartment buildings can only do so much in terms of preparations. Security is our entrance door and that's it. Keep safe and keep your heart fixed on the one who is able to keep and help us in our weakness and times of trials. Let the scripture verse below, register deeply in this time of trial and testings. Amen. Matthew 10 King James Version (KJV) 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

America is ok. If you have lost your job, apply for unemployment benefits. I’m not political but things are ok. I see with my own eyes it’s ok in America. If you’re recently laid off, enough money is available to you. For your necessities only. Fair and faithful from the rest of us. I am fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the organic garlic farmer. My healthy eating aunt received organic garlic by the bushel shipped to her each month from her lifelong farmer friend at Washington State. She thought it would control high blood pressure and so she ate it everyday. Her body smelled like a garlic. She died of a stroke. Actually she lived paralyzed for two years and finally gave up the ghost. People say a lot of things, and a lot of people die because they believe it to be so. My aunt could have taken a simple pill each say, but dang if she was going to support "big pharma". Bit of a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is reassuring news for people at large even with the news of 70 million people on lockdown in 4 states in the USA. Yes, this is a crisis and one that most people living have not seen anything close to, but we have a book, which is the word of God that foretold about things to come, i.e the Bible. We were also told not to be alarmed , but to watch and pray. As human beings though, we have emotions and compassion ect, but cannot let the message of the bible go unheard and reminded to the lost souls out there. It is a time to be a witness and to sow the seed that Jesus Christ is Lord and the ONLY way to salvation and eternal life. What would be daunting and traumatic for many is, if in the case that people cannot keep their internet connection and or it is not available, so social interaction like these forums are not available, then we would not know how many would be able to cope. Believers has to put on the FULL armor of God and stand firm, knowing that God is in control no matter what, as the prize is the soul and whose care it in. Satan wants it, but this is where battles rages and the saints has to keep pressing on . Keep the faith saints. I will be at my grocery soon either today or tomorrow and will post my update on the reality there. Please let us hear of your experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
