We are facing a great crisis. It has really blown up in the last week; everybody is aware of it. That’s about all we hear on the news. Our officials are doing whatever is necessary to keep everyone safe.

The people are doing a fantastic job of helping. A distillery is converting their operation to make hand sanitizer. Other people in industry are donating necessary items for sanitary purposes.

It’s the great American spirit! The main thing is to use common sense. It’s hard for me to understand, why people are hoarding things. That’s pure selfishness.

There’s folks doing without because the things they need are gone off the shelves. The toilet paper shelves are bare, bottled water is hard to come by, hamburger is there – the choices are limited. I could go on and on, y’all have seen the bare and sparse shelves. It’s totally unnecessary. Get what you need. I reckon I’ve said enough about that.

Everybody stay safe, use common sense. Last but not least, pray for the healing of the earth.

God bless America,
