Listening and hearing are not the same.

Just a few thoughts

·        We had to go and get tested for Covid immediately! After queueing for 5:35 hours we were notified at 2:10pm to go home and try again another day because Hampstead testing station could not take any more customers even though they were closing at 7:00pm apparently. After 18 months of Covid one would have thought that the system was fully prepared for outbreaks.

·        Keep safe during this lockdown. Check your family and friends-RUOK

·        Only 11% of eligible Australians have been fully vaccinated so far. That number should be 80%-90% to keep the community safe.

·        We pray for nearby peoples facing widespread COVID-19, especially Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Fiji. May they gain access to the resources and support they need.  --  Lord, hear us
