Lockdown 485

Lockdown Day 485 - 24 July 2021

Although it is still lockdown, world sport together with the olympics, serve as a window through which a glimmer of hope peeks.

Hope of a world starting to breathe despite the odds in this fierce battle against a virus and its variants. Hope of a "normal" life returning.

Watching the Boks play against the British and Irish Lions in Cape Town tonight, there are no spectators present. But there is a recording of crowd sounds playing in the background, to bring a degree of 'normal' to the game.

Earlier, we took a drive through Addo National Park, where we saw an Elephant cow with her  calves, a couple of Buffalo, Kudu and the Zebra nursery on an outing with two 'babysitter' adults. For these animals life has just gone on as always.

Although everything looks normal we should not be deceived by the "ceasefire" between virus and world. Although some of the statistics show progress, there are still so many unanswered questions and equally as many undisclosed facts since this pandemic broke out.

The only sure normal, the constant Way, Truth and Life, is found with Jesus, the Son of God. He is the benchmark and gold standard for all. Forever. For those who follow Him who loved us first, a normal perspective is eternity with Him.

"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. "

I John 5:12
