Hey Pastor! We are well. Thanks for asking bro
8 weeks unpaid leave? Who can afford to do that? Government bailed out banks in a crisis, now give money to the people they’re asking not to work! People work hard, some 2 & 3 jobs, & live from paycheck to paycheck! It’s so wrong to do one without doing the other.
BREAKING: Virgin Atlantic plans to cut about 80% of flights each day by the 26th of March, grounding 75% of planes by then. They are also asking staff to take 8 weeks of unpaid leave during the next three months. More on #COVID19 here: trib.al/oMSzkHE

LISTEN!!
Prayer is not a replacement for testing. Prayer is not a stand-in for science. Prayer is not a free pass out of responsibility.
REAL theological reflection needs to happen while we detox ourselves of toxic "faith" sound bites. Being concerned and cautious in the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic is not an indication of one's lack of faith. It is a healthy FAITHFUL concern for ALL humanity.

We're all democratic socialists in a pandemic...
So when exactly are coronavirus tests going to be widely available?

God is always GOOD and the sound bites are cute. But be smart and practice common sense hygiene. Denial is NEVER a spiritual response to life's issues. #BeClean BeCareful #BeCautious and #BeChristian

This is a big fat LIE. Within weeks of discovering H1N1, the Obama administration tested over A MILLION people. Coronavirus was discovered in January. We’ve still only tested about 10,000 because TRUMP CHOSE TO DENY TESTING because he thought the numbers would make HIM look bad
For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further.....

For my personal devotion this morning God refreshed me with words of hope and healing from one of my favorite theologians @CandiceBenbow as I listened to and watched "My Lemonade got vodka in it."
We are often wrong then!
We often name viruses on their location of origin. Ebola Zika West Nile Spanish Flu That name says nothing about the people who live there. Thinking a virus name is racist shows who is more concerned with scoring political points than saving lives.
You can't be blinded by privilege that much that you do not see the racist overtones of that headline. CAN'T BE! RIGHT...
Here we go again.→ Democrats are trying to score political points by calling Republicans racist. Coronavirus is a China-born disease—made worse by a Communist Party that rejected America's help to contain it. Which is why Dems & media called it "Chinese coronavirus" for weeks.

People not companies: low wage workers, people who rely on tips, people without sickleave, people whose children need school lunch and breakfast.
BREAKING: White House likely to push federal aid for shale companies hit by coronavirus/international energy shock Trump confidante & oil billionaire Harold Hamm lost $2 billion yesterday. Hamm reached out to admin but says he didnt make “direct" contact washingtonpost.com/business/…

The New York Stock Exchange halted stock trading for 15 minutes after the S&P 500 fell 7% on Monday. Stocks plummeted as worries about the growing global coronavirus pandemic and an oil price race to the bottom weighed on global financial markets. cnn.it/2TyWuzC

Pastor, If you... never write a book, have few followers, don't speak at conferences, don't have a big church, But you... love your God, preach His word, love your family, love your church, love your neighbor... God is pleased with you. Aim to be faithful, let God be famous.

THREAD 1. Hamilton County has been accused of hiding public records several times lately. And now the sheriff’s office has lost 15 months of dashboard camera videos from all 130 patrol deputies' cars, which could put criminal and civil cases at risk. timesfreepress.com/news/loca…

And Chattanooga is "the most churched city in the country." America and her Christianities... SMH
The "not in my back yard" attitude toward low-income housing is common, but not really based in fact, according to Tyler Yount, director of special projects for the city of Chattanooga. This is part 1 of the story. Stay tuned for part 2. timesfreepress.com/news/loca…
A theology that emphasizes personal pleasures over a Beloved Community breeds injustice & greed. Sadly, the former is the American way. I pray we discern the difference between a theology we constructed and the vision of Love & Justice for ALL humanity that Jesus modeled.
