That's what Davy Crocket, or most of his contemporaries might have said. Even unto this day, most people don't get their sense of right and wrong from books, they get it from their families and friends. Although many churchgoing Christians claim to get their sense of right and wrong from the Bible, few of them have ever read it from cover to cover. If they had, they'd have seen that the Bible is not in total agreement with itself about such matters. It would be surprising if it was, seeing as it was written by numerous different authors over a period of several centuries.
I've been trying to come up with some new topics to no avail. Maybe we've already said everything that we know about everything. I suppose my mind is obsessed with politics lately, which is not surprising since we are bombarded by it daily in the news media. Logically, this COVID thing shouldn't be political, but it is. I don't think the 1918 flu was so afflicted, but of course they didn't have TV in those says.
Here's something, our gas furnace broke down today and nobody seems to have time to come out and fix it. One of our local plumbing and heating businesses has closed down, and the other four are busy taking up the slack. I don't know if the closure is COVID related or not. The sign on their door and the recorded message on their phone didn't say why, but one of the others told me that they closed for lack of qualified help. If this is true, then the unique situation in Cheboygan of a labor shortage during a time of high unemployment has spread from the minimum wage jobs to the skilled trades. It's an inconvenience for us, not an emergency. We have a small electric space heater that is keeping up for now but, with the impending cold spell, I might have to fire up the wood furnace a month earlier than I had planned, which means we will run our of firewood in February instead of March. I only hope we can get the gas furnace repaired or replaced by then.
