All These Issues

2020 started with Wall Street booming and the Election year question marks, but by the time we had let the New Year get a little older, we were engulfed with the Coronavirus Pandemic.  Everyone panicked and bought bathroom tissue, hand sanitizer, bread and meat until grocery stores were empty.  As soon the the Pandemic fear wave wained, not the actual Coronavirus but the widespread "fear" of it, we were again overwhelmed by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Armaud Arbery, and Rayshard Brooks and the Black Lives Matter Movement reignited across the US and then around the World.  Yes I was excited to see such a international response to Racism in America but I realized that we still have big changes to make yet.  I lost one of my brothers in all of this chaos and so then grief hit my house and caused me to re-evaluate a lot of things I have to change.  The Pandemic, the Protest, the Pain of Loss have all brought me to a place of Prayer asking God to help me hold my issues together.  Businesses are suffering, closing and losing;  Unemployment is going out of control and the US economy just when you thought there was a ray of Sunshine, seems to be getting cloudy again.  My Prayer is God can you help us get past "All These Issues".  So if you are following any of these post, would you mind taking just a moment or two to pray for all these issues.  You can prayer longer if you like because all of us really do need it.  Thanks so much for your prayers.   Pastor Randy Young
