Ottawa under seige

Perhaps it is a bit dramatic but Ottawa is under seige and the Bible Reading for today fitted our state here. The truckers objecting to the Vaccine Mandate do not love their neighbours as themselves. The unvaccinated ones are quite willing to go out into the world; catch COVID by chance and then infect all those around them. They are not wearing masks; what protects the old and the infirm from them. Absolutely nothing. 

Daily Bible Reading - 1 Corinthians 12: 31-13:13 

Just a short excerpt from the beginning of the reading:

  What if I could speak
all languages of humans
   and of angels?
If I did not love others,
   I would be nothing more
than a noisy gong
   or a clanging cymbal.

And that dear people of Canada is what we have in the downtown streets of Ottawa at the moment - a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. They are blocking up all the streets; depriving all of those stores of their living and we have been locked down enough for sure. They are thinking of only themselves; the United States will not permit unvaccinated drivers to cross their border into the United States. I fail to see the point they are trying to make. It is utterly selfish and ludicrous. Read your history; you had to be vaccinated against smallpox to enter this country when I was a child in the 50s and 60s. Take yourself sixty years on and now you need to be vaccinated against another worldwide scourge called COVID. Stop being bullies; respect your fellow citizen. If you want absolute freedom then stay home. You have 100% freedom in those four walls so long as you pay your bills!

Please leave Ottawa; let the people open their businesses and make money. Do the job that you trained to do and help fill the shelves.
