    I don't fear death or any judgement. I've been told by doctors that I should have died 5 times now. That it was an act of God that I'm still here. Twice, I was a small kid and fell out of the tallest tree, (My Mom could never keep me out of them as I wanted to see how far up I could climb them). I tried catching a branch on the way down before hitting the ground? Yeah, it was a bit painful hitting the limbs and branches on the way down. Twice, I should have bleed out before getting to the hospital involving a main artery. My left arm was almost cut off from an accident at 16 and my right knee from an accident which should have been blown off. Then I was told I would die from my brain tumor cancer 30 years ago. Those 3 things were very painful. Yet I've dealt with so much pain in the past, I'm no stranger to it. My only fear would be burned alive. I've been burned before and its the most painful way of going I think. 

    No, I don't fear death, I would welcome it for my reward waits for me in Heaven! 

    Put in a good word for me Butch

    We’ve had the “You don’t need a mask" story too but then there weren’t any to buy which might have slanted that advice somewhat? What was available was needed by health workers and  quite right they got what was available first. There’s a lesson in what needs to be stockpiled for when things like this inevitably happen again.

    OYOH being on an island and more easily being able to control movements seems to be showing results as Victoria only recored one new case of Coronavirus yesterday.

    There were many complaints about going in too hard but it seems to be working and the greater good is the higher priority. Long way to go  for all of us yet of course!

    Just over 100 years ago the Spanish Flu took some 350 million people, possibly many more as reporting worldwide would have been very incomplete. Some suggest as much as 1/2 a billion souls were lost in that one. It’s suggested that it was 25% of the worlds population in 1918.

     

     

    Yep if you go to the old cemeteries around here you find many that died in 1918
