Patriots in Crisis 


People around the world are coming together in a time of crisis.
During the unprecedented outbreak of the 2020 Coronavirus,  Americans, Europeans, Asians etc, are showing solidarity, kindness, and patriotism.
This morning, on the news, I heard a story of a neighborhood (as all schools are closed now), going outside each school morning to say the pledge of allegiance to the American flag.
There are people all over the world, in their homes or apartments - coming together to belt out songs with one another, as they try and lift the spirits of others and themselves, while in quarantine.
Nursing homes are being visited differently these days, and maybe more so - as loved ones stand or sit outside of their windows communicating with signs, hand motions and an outpouring of love for our greatest generation.
Musicians around the globe are performing in different venues now due to "social distancing," by giving small performances in their living rooms and sharing them on social media.
Factories, that previously produced other products, are now converting their equipment to make much needed masks, ventilators, gowns, gloves, hand sanitizers and many other necessities during this pandemic.
Doctors and nurses, that have been in retirement, are coming back into hospitals to help the overwhelmed medical systems fight, what is possibly the greatest fight in modern times.
More church services around the world, are now being streamed, as Christian's and faiths all around the world, share in worship, pray and cry out for strength and hope.
The world is changing. It is during the most trying times in history, that mankind has shown it's true strength, its patriotism and exposed its greatest needs - the need for God, love for one another, and  love of country.
This may be our biggest test. Let us all rise to the occasion, and therefore, become who we were created to be.

Personal Effects of the Coronavirus

The Jozette may we see the world with gentle eyes Vol. 1...Article 3 Personal Effects of the Coronovirus It is Monday, March 23rd, 2020. We are 8 days into the "Coronavirus guidelines for America." On Monday, March 16, 2020 the White house issued Coronovirus guidelines for the United States, calling for 15 days of "social distancing." Governor Andrew Cuomo giving one of his daily briefings this morning, concerning the Coronavirus and all of the requirements and needs of New York City and New York, said today in some of his final remarks - some more touching things concerning the times we are in and how to make the most of them. In his remarks, he said "don't underestimate the pain of isolation. It is real, not to be comforted, not to be close. To be afraid and you can't hug someone." He mentioned two men by name - Billy and Steve, and he said he had not seen them in months, and he couldn't even shake their hands or hug them....

Unexpected Inspirations

The Jozette May we see the world with gentle eyes Vol. 1.. Article 1   Governor Cuomo                                                                                                             Even though I'm a Republican and disagree with most of the democratic platforms, during this time in America when we are fighting the Coronavirus and should all set our politics completely aside, I have been inspired by Andrew Cuomo, the Governor of New York as he has been giving press briefings every day. Most of it has been about updating everyone on the coronavirus and instructions on the ever-changing CDC guidelines. During these briefings it has been almost like a "fireside chat," where he ha...
