I watched the governor's 5pm news conference, sat thru the entire presser without getting up to get another candy bar LOL, and during that time, he taught me how to say team Kentucky in ASL sign language, as well as gave advice regarding the social ramifications of this pandemic. I am now watching the news, there are forest fires in in the area, and there are firemen having to fight them. Why in the world would anybody start a fire outside doing a pandemic? Oy to the Vey!
Something the governor has been discussing in his press conferences is the fact that his son was to take his first communion and be baptized this Sunday, Easter Sunday.
When I was 10 years old, in Florence Kentucky, I was baptized! It was a brand new church, the church itself was over a hundred years old but the building was a brand-new building. I remember how cold the water was, all the close friends who friends who were in the class leading up to our baptisms, and I remember climbing those steps of Florence Christian Church up to the altar where the baptistery was.
It was an important Sunday for me, and I know it will be for governor Beshear's son, too. When you are that young and you have a big religious event in your life, it makes an impact on you. I know he will be eventually baptized, but it does give me a pause to remember my baptism, the meeting it had on my life, and what my duty is as a Christian going forward.
I am posting two blogs today, who knows, maybe a third will come to me before midnight. Being isolated and shut away from everyone makes me think way too much. I am a calm person, it takes a lot to get me riled up, but my anger has a very short fuse these days. I am not proud of it, I want to be calm and collected, but when I see people making stupid decisions, I will always get angry. I will get angry because they know what they are doing will hurt or possibly kill other people. The governor has made this clear, the health experts have all made it clear, yet my neighbors continue to visit with each other they don't wear masks and they're not compliant in any way. Accordingly, this causes my emotions to stir up the fire in me and make me post a blog.
Thank you for reading me again today LOL, and I hope I will calm down now and not post anymore for a while. At least until tomorrow morning.
Happy Easter, Peace, Love and Easter Bunnies,
Kimmy
