“For to me to live is CHRIST, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21

My best friend passed away two weeks ago so expectantly. “It might have been a heart attack,” she said. I felt like I froze. No more meeting together for lunch. No more sharing prayer requests with one another. No more going to events together. Not seeing her pretty smile. As my mind drifted in and out, with all my questions; I didn't want to believe it. If I only knew, and would have been well enough, I would have been there at the funeral to tell how much I loved her and will miss her.

The past few months were so busy for all of us; and very mixed emotions, I'm sure. With these holidays came happiness, and sadness. So many people getting Covid. Now having to abide by rules, which we had to do months ago, and here they are again. I'm sure, like myself, we know those that were very sick, even those that had their vaccine, and booster and wound up with Covid anyhow. There were those that didn't make it as they passed away.

Once again we can enjoy the beautiful Fall weather; but ever since Covid there is so much confusion as what to do and what not. Wear the mask; don't wear it. Get the Vaccine; don't get it. People, which you might know some, they get the vaccine and then months after they get Covid.
