As I mentioned nearly two weeks ago through my social media accounts, I tested positive for the Coronavirus.  I struggled with several symptoms, including loss of appetite, fever, nagging cough, and low energy levels.  My wife, Judy, also tested positive, but thankfully, she had no symptoms at all.   We have learned over the past months that COVID-19 impacts people in different ways, and I would compare my experience with COVID to having had a double dose of the flu for double the amount of time.  My required quarantine is over, and I’m looking forward to returning to a routine once again.

Two weeks is a long time to be holed up in the house!  While I don’t quite have the energy level yet to focus on writing a full blog post, I want to express my appreciation for all who reached out to Judy and me.  Your prayers and heartfelt wishes for our recovery meant a lot to us, and I’m persuaded they are the reason we are doing so well.  God is good!

Also, please continue to pray fervently for the volatile political situation here in Louisville.   There are racial issues that need to be improved, and law enforcement practices that need evaluation, but most would agree there are likely to be difficult if not dangerous days ahead.  Pray that our police officers and our local leaders would be given an extra measure of wisdom and courage to safely navigate our city through potential storms.
