pandemics..plagues..since faith journey those following Jesus

There always been struggles...pandemics..plagues..since faith journey those following Jesus started
The responce of pagans worshippers was lockdown, run to the hills.
Exclude...
Isolate. . 
Look after no 1.

Remain,
Serve,
Use practical help,and science to sort out issue.
Be kind. Charityable.
When we moved without guidance of the spirit, we always act like the world.
Fail to show why we are 'Kingdom people'. . .

Against:
2) Keeping the economy functioning to a) have a strong economy that remains competitive; b) raise tax income; c) not have huge expenditure in rescue plans and welfare payments etc.; and so on.

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
