Swine Flu...

Recently in the world there has been an outbreak in health known as, "Swine Flu". Swine Flu is a highly contagious respiratory disease usually found in pigs. It spreads through tiny particles in the air or by contact. There has been cases of pigs having this flu now, however people have been passing to each other by human to human contact. This flu has been moving around not only throughout the U.S.but in other countries as well. Children are going to school with surgical masks on. Adults are going to jobs and business with them on as well. The world as we know it is going to a big panic over this. There have been some number of cases where people have died but also there are many that have gotten some antibiotics that help them fight through it.

Yes, we all should be aware of this issue and make sure we wash our hands and stay clean,however we don't need to lose site that God is in control. As Christians we need to realize that God will protect our bodies and keep us clean and safe. God told us that we do not need to live in a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind! If anyone does get sick from this doesn't mean that they are going to have it forever or that they are gonna die. They just need faith and prayer. The Lord will be with us no matter what, if we just believe. In James 5:14 it says, " Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." This verse is saying that if we see people who are sick we are suppose to reach out and pray for them. As a Christian that is what I am exactly going to do!
