Yesterday I received my materials that I'll be teaching the end of September. My "dry run" (where I teach to the Board of Elections staff to make sure I know the material and am prepared) is September 9th. We will be teaching in a mask, thanks to the surge of Delta variant covid cases. Tomorrow Wake County enters mask requirements for anywhere in public once again. This time they are not mandating social distancing, just masks. Personally, I think they may fear the outcome of the upcoming elections if another stay at home order comes. But that is solely opinion and not fact. Today Alabama Free Will Baptists lost two more pastors to Covid. One of them, Bro. Glen Hood, was very influential in Dad's life when he first started as a pastor. I attended college with his oldest daughter Stephanie, who is one of the kindest and classiest people I've ever met. My heart goes out to her and her Mom and younger sister Allison. My great-niece Lucy started school this week.
