The coronavirus still appears to be the No. 1 topic in the news. Fall events could certainly be affected by the virus. Please wear your face mask in public places.

Jesus met a man who had sat beside the “Pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years.” (See the complete story in John 5:1-15) He exploded this man’s private world with the question, “Do you want to get well?” (v: 6). The Lord was probing for his heart’s deepest desire. I know, to some, Jesus’ question seems out of place, but look around you and listen to people talk. There are many who do not want to get well. Rather, they parade their problems and illness like a prize-winning trophy. Face it, some people like the security of being sick.

The coronavirus is still with the United States and the State of Texas according to various news reports. The number of COVID-19 cases in Limestone County appeared to have increased dramatically in the past couple of weeks.
