So I got my Pfizer vaccine first shot today, well, 4/1, at Mount Sinai. Took a day off from SPG. Went there around 1:30pm. Line's not bad, about 3 people before me. The only negative part, slightly, was after signing in, I went through a survey process with a young chubby black lady who's rather slow or having issue with her computer. But her work attitude wasn't great either, it was as if she really didn't want to be there. But I kept my bright attitude to hopefully encourage her. The rest of the staffs are great. I didn't feel anything wrong after the shot. It's 1:51AM now, and if I touch my left arm where the shot was, I could feel something, similar to that of a slight contusion and that's about it for now. My wife said that the real deal is after the second shot, so let's see. Mine's on 4/20, supposedly 3:10pm, but I don't know what this lady did because I got 9:15AM on my MYCHART app instead. Can't make it that early, just need to bring this 3:10pm appointment paper to show as proof then.
The Covid19 is a time of trial God revealed what we hide in our hypocrisy. When churches in America refused to wear masks or laugh at the policy setup for the pandemic, they reveal themselves to actually be lack of caring, despite what care missions they try to promote verbally, not to mention the apparent care in evangelism. Individual freedom over true care, is what it is.
Good Friday, listened to GRII Stephen Tong. I thank God for such blessing. After much reflection, I can firmly say, in all seriousness, if I ever have to respond to CCCNY's Laura Lin's (林美云) action FOR me (such as given me this or that title, or introducing me to this or that person), this is my response: 我对乌撒的手段没兴趣。The work of God, requires the LOVE of God, the LOVE FOR God. Not the pride of status, not the pride of humility, not the unholy solutions to sins. If God does not struck her, that means He is still using her. Her title as pastor still stands, that means God in His mysterious ways worketh in CCCNY, that I cannot deny, never had, never will. How can I turn the LOVE of Christ into such blasphemy? No. May God forgive me, even for the slightest and unrealized derailment from His holy precepts.
