Who didn't see this coming?! I'm sorry to hear Gussy was so sick! My kids and I didn't lockdown or follow mask mandates, and to be honest, I stopped the hand sanitizing about two weeks in. It all/is just nuts!!!

Spot on. I wrote something sort of similar about how fear drives to make bad decisions: https://walrusandcarpenter.substack.com/p/fear-and-bad-decisions. It's really disturbing to me how overprotective parents are of kids these days. It does not allow them to develop the resilience, toughness, and skills they need to successfully tackle difficulties. My childhood was a mess but one thing my parents did right was allow us to roam free, hang out with other kids, get into scrapes, and figure it out. We also ate peanut butter from an early age :D

Yes!! And I love the article you wrote. Fear is the worst when it takes over the lives of Christians because we are the only ones on the planet with the option to be free from it!
