It's Sunday morning, 8:20 am and these are my thoughts.
I'm grateful for the LiveStreaming of church services in the same way that, if I were in a dungeon, I'd be thankful for bread and water as my rations. Bread and water will sustain Life, yes, but I still don't like being in the dungeon. Look, I understand that we HAVE to do it this way for now.....at least based on what the Government is telling us. We as Christians have to SUBMIT to our Government but it's hard to TRUST a Government that sees keeping liquor stores open as essential, but not keeping CHURCHES open as essential.
And there's just something weird about watching church services (I usually watch more than one) on TV where I watch "Bull," or on my PHONE where I watch POLITICAL videos.
I keep thinking of the song "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" by Spanky and Our Gang, from the 60s. Sunday will NEVER be the same when church is something I have to be VIEWING and not DOING. My prayer is that our (NJ) Governor will see that CHRISTIANS can find ways to safely gather once or twice a week just like people selling ALCOHOL can apparently do so safely SEVEN days a week.
All of that said, "Half a loaf is better than none" so let me get going and start getting ready for another week of LiveStreaming.
(Hoping I can get that old song out of my head by 10:30, though!!)
