I Hate History!

 



Words that will NEVER come out of my mouth, – UNLESS?

I am begging, pleading and just plain doing my humble best to explain our history?

I will however, constantly write to you from my memories, out from my heart, to you in one if not all of my blogs!

Today, to me history 

is one of the 

if not the most important subject for our

school children from diaper to death,

 because there is far too much needless death around

 'Mother Earth' from not learning from our mistakes of our past 

and correcting them today and in our future?

Remember; our best and only weapon in any pandemic until science is able to catch up, 

is the mask with social distancing!

(CNN) - To gather or not to gather has been the question at the forefront of the minds of today's religious leaders and their church members. During the 1918 influenza pandemic that ultimately killed 50 million to 100 million people, 

different answers to that same question

 resulted in either collective well-being 

or 

widespread, devastating loss.
