Now that I have your attention… time for a bit of a rant.

I see post after post from my age and older people slamming “young people” for being out in droves, not practicing “social distancing”, for going shopping, etc…
Who themselves KNOW about this how? Because THEY are out shopping?
But even more interesting when a friend posted that he went out to take a quiet hike and exercise some “distancing” – and when he got to his favorite area – it was packed wall-to-wall with the same age group that has done most of the complaining… no social distancing, not spacing out – literally filling the trails… Not young people or Millennials –

But you know what – some people just aren’t happy unless they have something to complain about and somebody else to blame for their own discomfort (or perceived discomfort).
Just like many of those complaining that Governor Hutchinson hasn’t issued on order to fully lock down at home… are the same folks who regularly complain that they don’t like the heavy hand of government telling them what to do…
Another frustration – folks who are all ticked off because there are people actually shopping at Walmart or their local Grocery store when they want to go shopping… say what?
Don’t they have every bit the same right to be there as you? And then have the audacity to blast them for not using an app to get their orders delivered or at least do pick-up? You are a special kind of selfish person. There are quite a few people who still don’t do technology – They just don’t use a smartphone – barely find their way around turning a computer on – and most definitely aren’t about to give banking information over the phone – they still write checks! (oh how selfish.. right – because they also are the ones who cause you a 30 second additional wait in the grocery store isle). Never mind that many of the stores that offer delivery or pick-up have backlogs sometimes a week out… I guess they should just go hungry until then?


Come on folks – you can be better than this. Quit trying to divide. Quit thinking only of yourself. Quit assuming your neighbor is an idiot, fool, or hates you because they actually still go buy groceries in-person. Show some compassion – quit judging other people based off of standards you aren’t willing to live by yourself – it isn’t helping us as communities, a state, or a nation to come together to overcome our crisis – it only makes it worse.
So true. Appreciate your articles on the contending for Christ site. Of course I am in the age group that can barely navigate a simple tool of technology.
