Psalm 65 New King James Version (NKJV)
Praise to God for His Salvation and Providence
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
65 Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion;
And to You the [a]vow shall be performed.
2 O You who hear prayer,
To You all flesh will come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions,
You will provide atonement for them.
And to You the [a]vow shall be performed.
2 O You who hear prayer,
To You all flesh will come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions,
You will provide atonement for them.
4 Blessed is the man You choose,
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Of Your holy temple.
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Of Your holy temple.
5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
And of the far-off seas;
6 Who established the mountains by His strength,
Being clothed with power;
7 You who still the noise of the seas,
The noise of their waves,
And the tumult of the peoples.
8 They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs;
You make the outgoings of the morning and evening [b]rejoice.

9 You [c]visit the earth and water it,
You greatly enrich it;
The river of God is full of water;
You provide their grain,
For so You have prepared it.
10 You water its ridges abundantly,
You settle its furrows;
You make it soft with showers,
You bless its growth.

11 You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your paths drip with abundance.
12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness,
And the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
The valleys also are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, they also sing.

I spent a lot of time in bed today. I was tired and achy. My heart felt heavy. I told my daughter I was going to lay low. She looked at me and arched an eyebrow.
"Corona!" She exclaimed.
It's our new thing in the household. If anyone sneezes or coughs, we yell, "Corona!"
It reminds me of that song, "Tequila!"

I seriously doubt that I have the virus. My hay fever allergies have flared up. I am tired and a little wheezy. I am a little congested and my eyes itch. But no fever. No cough.
Just to be safe, I went to the CDC "Corona virus Self Checker site: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/index.html#cdc-chat-bot-open
I took a brief survey and was told to get rest, drink fluids, self isolate and call my doctor if I developed a fever or cough.
So I rested. Drank tea.
I feel a little bit better now. I am going to cut back on Diet Coke, popcorn and stress. I'm not sure which one is going to be the most difficult to give up.
I managed to go for my walk before it started to rain.
Then I taught a student online, and practiced a bit. I am working on some uplifting pieces to teach my ststudents via YouTube tutorials.
I applied for unemployment while I watched the news. The State of
Washington is staying home for at least another month.
I am starting to understand what it must feel like to be in prison. But luckily I have my own space. I don't think I'd survive prison.
I miss visits with my son. I haven't heard from him yet today. But I know he is keeping up with the news. Today it was reported that an employee from the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem tested positive for the virus. There has been talk of releasing some prisoners so that practicing social distancing will be more feasible. I hope my son isn't getting his hopes up. He will be over halfway through his sentence when this pandemic begins to decline. Oregon and Washington officials are pleased that our social distancing seems to be flattening the curve.
There is also still talk of requiring face masks.
And I was right about the global cases exceeding 1 million globally today. I am not enjoying being right about this.
Total Confirmed Cases: 1,022,370
Total Deceased: 53,427
Now I am going to try and get some real sleep.
I'm hoping my energy returns tomorrow.
Be well.
Love,
Zita
