(2) I believe that the Covid Pandemic, which I quickly started calling “Pandemonium 2020…2021…2022… … was actually what some religious circle’s call a “Crucible” or “Test” or what I also quickly began calling a “Shake-Up To Wake-Up” and a “Test of God to see how much we inhabitants of earth love our neighbors.” My Facebook memories will reflect this belief and attitude. At the time, I first tried getting the religious authorities to chill a minute and take stock and, after this failed, I used the first stimulus check to buy a flute. I had asked the Lord, in the current situation of isolation; “How can I best exhibit the faith that I have in You, Lord?” The Lord told me to buy a flute and practice re-learning to play it on my balcony. And so I did. It had been14 years since I last picked up a flute. Understand this too. At the time I bought the flute, I had no income. It would still be another five or six months before the SSI disability claim was finally accepted. I was still very much poor, when I bought my flute during Pandemonium 2020…2021…2022…
However, my belief on the Covid Pandemic was shot down by the religious authorities several times. And this concept, along with what Nathan and I are talking about with the concept of saying “NO!” to the Booty, also being shot down, with seemingly no allies? I felt very very isolated in my beliefs. And it brought a dark and oppressive spirit over me. For a while, I posted the feature image for this Balcony Talk on my Facebook page. I didn’t know what else to do? I felt I could no longer be honest among my own people within the Seventh-day Adventist religion.
