January 8, 2021 I have looked to different sources of guidance and support for my emotions during this pandemic. Some have been helpful, and some not so much. <strong> My local church changed pastors shortly before this pandemic started. </strong> The new pastor is a young man with ties to other places and friends. He participates in activities that take him well beyond the local town.<strong> He is on vacation a lot for someone that is supposed to be praying for the sick and taking care to avoid unnecessary travel.</strong> I haven’t really had much of chance to get to know him better, and his sermons on the internet are stiff and shallow.<strong> Going to church is an expression of my religious faith, but he contributes more to the stress.</strong> I also look to different internet sources for inspiration.<strong> Facebook has been a way to connect with friends and fellow church members that I do get inspiration from.</strong> We exchange brief messages and memes of hope and look for life to return to normal.<strong> I also use the internet to connect to different religious evangelists</strong> that are more skilled with the internet.<strong> Their messages seem more personal and heartfelt.</strong>
