The "New" New Testament Church Who would have believed that the world with all its technological advancement and human capacity would run to hide behind closed doors to preserve humanity from the novel Corona Virus disease - Covid-19, which broke out in November, 2019?  Covid-19, a disease which has no respect for persons, race, age, social status, or religious beliefs, forced governments to close all borders with no entry or exit except for essential needs.  Since the world took cover by staying safe at home, no one could go to Church, not even the Pastors.

It is giving me so...

We stocked the house with food and other daily essentials. The airspace and land space were declared closed; nobody comes in nobody goes out! The world was sort of in a hanging limbo. Like most people all over the world, our glue to our phones was a major means to get a piece of the latest update on the global pandemic, it's spread and containment measures. Many issues rented the air, from further fears of the spread of the disease to apprehension of possible hunger in the lockdown and the fact that a few majority have this disbelief about the whole pandemic. The pandemic brought with it, unusual words that became usual and we had to grapple with understanding and accepting them. Words like quarantine, isolation, asymptomatic, maintaining social (maybe physical) distance with loved and unloved o...
