This Sunday Morning

This Sunday morning, I am seeing that a couple of hundred parents met in Victoria in order to get educated about drug use among our youth. There have been even grandparents attending as they are absolutely out of the loop in understanding the deadly drugs that are out there. Today, I also heard that there was another "police incident" on the Lions Gate Bridge which caused the closure of the bridge. Not exactly sure of what happened, but generally that term alone indicates a jumper to me.

In the midst of dealing with health issues as we are aging, especially that of my husband, we are even more unsure of the tomorrow. How do we age gracefully? Due to illness, are we now exempt from sharing the same bed together.. Now there is a good debate? Is snoring alone a reason to move out of a matrimonial bedroom? Is a sleep apnea machine enough to halt the natural human contact that one has been used to for decades? What is a mutual consent decision, and what isn't? If a spouse wishes not to disturb the other spouse, is that reason enough to remove ones self from the same room? I think we are sleeping less, urinating more and cranky as we age. These symptoms may not always catch us in our 60's and 70's but much earlier. For instance, I have learned that men may have enlarged prostrates as early as in their 40's.This is what the bible says. "1 Corinthians 7:5 [Full Chapter]

Defraud not one another, unless, it may be, by consent for a time, that ye may devote yourselves to prayer, and again be together, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency."

Do people even talk about these things? We are so confined in our earthly bodies with many ailments. I can't imagine how migrants from Syria for instance have managed without doctors for years and years. Mental health, just like physical health has to be addressed with our growing population. Youth need education, great mentorship from parents and relatives, a place to enjoy sports and recreation centers, libraries, trade workshops to preserve skills and future inventions. Foremost, a good and righteous government is needed that supports  and values life, whether it be unborn or born.
As I see much upheaval in the world, including China, and the Hong Kong disturbances possibly going back to full communism, we are humbled to stay in prayer for our families and governments. May the fabric of society, the family stay strong, just and a productive member of our country. There is hope with the living, but how can the dead worship God?
