For Sunday 5/10/2020 - Mother's Day Sermon

Mother's Day Sermon - May 2020

Mother's Day Sermon May 2020: For all of you who are fed up with COVID-19 precautions, so be it. Don't wear your mask, don't wear gloves or PPE, don't social distance, do freely pick your nose and touch your face and pop your fingers into your mouth for that "finger licking" goodness of what it was that you touched your lips or nose to -- and I do mean whatever the damn hell it was, because it could be absolutely anything and everything you touched and licked. ---- For those of us seeking to flatten and curve down infections and deaths from COVID-19, particularly those of us who value the wisdom and life journeys of our elders, we will focus our intention instead on the fact, the damn fact, that humanity is at war with a killer germ/bug. We will do proud to our elders, like the current Queen of England with her priceless present day counsel, who among many Brits survived hellacious nightly nightmare bombings by Nazi Germany Luftwaffe, who tells us that our counterparts of World War Two would be proud of those of us battling COVID-19 as we are now. It is a hard long bitter demoralizing dispiriting battle, please don't be a deserter. As the saying goes, we are all in this together. This "we" means humanity as a whole. I do not -- not for a single damn moment -- believe the Chinese weaponized a germ in a lab in Wuhan and unleashed it on the world or more particularly the USA. They are not stupid. They have no desire to kill their people or USA customers. What kind of insanity would that be? They know that Science can, and will, trace the genetic history of a virus. They know the ability of Science and particularly the Medical Sciences to combat a germ/virus. They know that if responsibility could/would ever be assigned to them in terms of a weaponized germ/virus, a military conflict would follow. Russia and North Korea and Iran would join with China against the USA and all we'd have at our side is whatever pineapple tidbits of NATO remain from POTUS 45's efforts to destroy NATO. Very quickly every thing would escalate into exchange of nukes. The world as we know it, would be no longer habitable for human life. God would have to await the evolution of the next sentient form of life on the Earth. C'mon my fellow fools, we can and must do COVID-19 precautions until this germ is defeated. Most importantly, we must learn from this chapter in human history how to live in harmony with Mother Nature and cease our destructive ways toward her. We must bless her as we bless our own mothers both young and old. Let us bless Mother Nature so she can love and bless us in return as she has done for billions of years. So ends this Mother's Day sermon!
