This is unlike me, but I am a little down today. After rallying for months to inform and educate my closest cohorts that were originally Big Fat No's on the jab, this all feels like a major defeat. Some I talk to don't want to be subject to weekly tests if seeking an exemption and others just think it will be easier in the end. A question was brought up today during a staff meeting about boosters and if those will come into play. Management's delayed response spoke volumes citing "that isn't decided yet" which means it's being discussed.
In a town of shady dealers and sellouts, how does one fight City Hall and win? My husband and I are both faced with this predicament with two littles to tend to. I really hope you have advice for those of us near the edge of that cliff as we are running out of time.

Matthew 6:25-34 has always comforted me when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds.
Matthew 6:25-34 King James Version 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Your post is comforting. Thank you.
