Quarantine Day 7,357

I don’t know how long we’ve been quarantined but it’s feeling like a really long time at this point.

As we move in to the nice part of spring… the cold bleak reality that we live in becomes ever more obvious. Sidewalks and schools empty. Who else got hailed on??? I had my hearing aids out and heard it clear as day. I’m starting to become a bit nervous. How long will this go on??? The dogs have become so frantic that they can barely handle it.

On a brighter note,

As we go forward, we have something new to occupy us. Elim has recently become a member of RightNow Media. Which means we have access to tons of great video footage. I thought this would be a good way to get started.

Something beautiful: Experiencing Galilee

A neat video from the donkey owner’s perspective: Palm Sunday

Quarantine Day 16

Posted on March 31, 2020 by Rachel Cunningham

The Twinkies are already gone. Along with what was left of our dignity.

Although, eating that much sugar in one sitting got me thinking about summer camp. One week of delicious food, crazy counselors, new friends, and strengthening my relationship with God every summer. That was the good life!

Since our lives will probably never be normal again, Camp Good News is hosting a virtual camp for everyone! Just a few things they are offering are crafts, Nature Center Critters, and Family Trivia Night. These are done through Zoom, and you can see information and instructions at their site, link at the bottom of this entry.

Quarantine Day 14

I wasn’t going to start a diary. I’m not a diary kind of person. But a person can only be trapped in a house with one other person and two dogs for so long. I needed to talk to someone else. Anyone else.

Everything seems so dark. But it’s 8:20 pm, so that’s normal for this time of year.

One ray of hope did shine on my day. A single package arrived delivered by the one person I see consistently. The brave mailman, an unmasked hero walking courageously through this perilous time. A blue and white crusader, not the hero we deserve, but the one we need. He brought an apocalypse-worthy supply box. Hopefully, it boosts morale long enough to weather these uncertain times.
