is the warning on the sign at our boardwalk.
As I re-read the words that greeted me at the beach
I felt as if GOD had written the words
"TO AVOID SHUTDOWN MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING"
as I got the message loud & clear.
If you & I & everyone else don't want to

"To PUT OFF your old self [completely discard your former nature],
which is being corrupted through deceitful desires..."*
That part of you that emerges in anger, frustration, bitterness, fear, anxiety,
condemnation and so much more
yet we are called to
MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING~
"...and be continually renewed
in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude],
and put on the new self [the regenerated and renewed nature],
created in GOD'S image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the
truth [living in a way that expresses to GOD
your gratitude for your salvation]. *(Ephesians 4:22-24 AMP)
