Ten Year Challenge 2022

Happy Saturday Everyone! I saw this 10 year challenge meme and it tickled me so. I had my eye surgery to reverse my declining diabetic retinopathy. I want to reclaim some clarity to see in the future. Think about it. What were we doing in 2012? Obama was President. The economy was stabilizing. Wars were raging yet tactfully fought. And there was a sense of normalcy. But now? Baby its COVID outside. People are catching germs like lottery tickets hoping they'll chance a win. Flurona is the new news term of catching both diseases at the same time? We still get images of turmoil and strife within minutes on the World Wide Web. And we are watching rival factions debating politics while their constituents suffer. Unfortunately this is becoming "the new norm" in the light of the coronavirus. Companies seek profits over people and have destroyed mandates in their way. They hoard health and wealth while the multitudes fight over the scraps. Group mentality fosters to make one feel superior over others to justify their ethical neglect and deplorable actions. Can you imagine that this is still happening in 2022? In this day and age of a 24 hour news reel? Sadly, things appear to be worse with the Omicron and Delta variants. There isn't much hope left.....or so others would want you to think. What do you feel when you think on these things? Can you empathize with those less fortunate and less educated than you? Do you have any compassion left? Or has COVID-19 forced you to only look out for you and yours? God blessed us with a moral compass to guide us through dark times. Our ancestors used these thoughts and prayers until freedom came. What will history say about us in ten more years? Let's embrace the past and move forward. Faith without works is naught. And He covers all in his love, grace, and mercy. We want to maintain the high road and live our best life. The purple life. Continue this journey with me as we reach for the mark of the high calling. Please share your comments below.
