The Covid Chronicle Part 3

*Last Entry; only 4 days recorded in my journal, and it remained unfinished. Day 1 “What If” Why do we plague ourselves with this simple phrase and question of, “What If?” It is like self-inflicted torture for me. As an overthinker, it is the worst question to ask.

My Covid Chronicle Part 2

“When You Can’t Go Home” (2nd week of February 2022) We must remember when praying to God that He is not an ATM; we can’t just, ‘take,’ as in pray with our demands, rather we must make a ‘deposit,’ first. I always start a prayer with thanking God before I make any requests known to…
