Pandemic Fears

I have been following the news lately about Ebola, and frankly I'm scared to death. I can admit that freely even though I know the Lord has me in his almighty hands. I'm not sure what to do. I know that a lot of people are feeling the same way. The pandemic fear is spreading faster than the pandemic itself. Will we survive it? Will we want to survive it? These are the questions that keep rolling around in my head when I stop to read the articles and comments about Ebola. There are a lot of unknowns about this disease that has grown to pandemic portions within a period of six months.

It has given rise to questions about where to live as well as whether or not to stock up on food and sanitary supplies now before they become scarce. I do think a lot of it is geared towards stirring up panic and to get people to buy their supplies. Yet I can't help thinking that a lot could be just common sense reasoning too. You do have to build up your own immune system by nutritional supplements if you can't get fresh fruit and vegetables in you. You do have to be wise about food stocks, making sure that you're storing canned fruit and vegetables as well as other food stock. You do have to have a way of saving water as well.

I pray continuously to God to spare us from the ravages of a quarantined city where food and medical supplies are scarce. I pray that calm remains the law of the land, and wise decisions are made to thwart violence.
