Just finished a walk around my town.\u00a0 It’s a thing I do once, sometimes twice, a day.\u00a0 We live in downtown Wilmington, Ohio, just a few blocks from the major buildings: the Catholic Church and the city haul.\u00a0 It is 27 July, hot out, and folks are backing off from the masking.\u00a0 Businesses are dropping the requirement to mask for entry.\u00a0 You can enter a restaurant without a\u00a0 mask before you sit and eat!\u00a0 And yet, while walking along, I see occasionally someone drive by with windows rolled up and a mask on!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m sayin’! “Is that paranoia? Or what?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There may be something manifested that action – as I think about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is out there.\u00a0 There are folks who have\u00a0 no confidence in escaping the Judgment that a holy God will bring upon everyone<\/em>.\u00a0 And everyone who is not vindicated by the Savior will<\/em> get some nasty, holy wrath<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t know who that masked man was, but I have seen a few of them from day to day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is telling. There are folks out there who fear death<\/em>. They have no hope of life after this life. They are blind in their self-centered world in which they know of no certain escape from that death which they know will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life is in no other than the one who defeated death and rose again to demonstrate His victory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Believe that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cordially,<\/p>\n\n\n\n MBray on 27 July, 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just finished a walk around my town.\u00a0 It’s a thing I do once, sometimes twice, a day.\u00a0 We live in downtown Wilmington, Ohio, just a few blocks from the major buildings: the Catholic Church and the city haul.\u00a0 It is 27 July, hot out, and folks are backing off from the masking.\u00a0 Businesses are dropping […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9,53],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4985"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4985"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4985\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4986,"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4985\/revisions\/4986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
