We attended Cornerstone church in Ames for the first time today in a long time. This was our family's first time attending church since Mach 15 when the pandemic started. We had cousin Karla meet and sit with us too. It was strange walking in and standing on a circle on the floor and waiting to go to the next circle in order to keep the proper distance. There was hand sanitizer all along the walk and orange cones to keep you walking straight forward. Once inside the sanctuary, a greeter escorted us to our seats where everyone is strategically placed in order to distance from one another. All church members, except those on stage are required to wear a mask. It was an odd experience, but at the same time it felt great to be back within the walls worshiping, praising, and praying. The message was great, Pastor Mark V explained the importance of continuing to gather and why we need to wear masks. It kind of broke down some of the irritability we all have in wearing them. He emphasized how we should be kind to those that wear masks and those that do not. It was a good reminder. Back in March when the pandemic started, we all thought this would be something that lasted for a month, and we would all be back for Easter in church without masks and social distancing. Here we are 5 months later and I don't see change happening anytime soon. At least nothing will change until after elections. In fact things could get worse before they get better. The left side will do any and everything in their power, even ruin our people and our country in order to see the president gone.
