This may not be connected but, last season at the club, I went along to get along and strung a mask around my chin. It was okay, I had a mask on sort of and I didn't catch any flak over it. I never felt right about it and during last winter I determined that I would never comply with a renewed mask mandate. It was a strong conviction to resist regardless of consequences. It became increasingly clear to me lately that another round of masking, doubling down on their error, was on the way.
It may not be THE mark of the beast but, it certainly is A mark of the beast and the LORD said not to take it. This morning, there was a mask mandate notice at the time clock. I knew that it was just a matter of time before some hopeless butt kissing tattle tale would run and tell the general manager. At around one pm, I was returning from my break and there was our gm handing out masks. I politely turned it down and was told "you have to or, you can't work". I bit my tongue to prevent my Dad's booming voice "I don't HAVE to do anything" from coming out and just said "ok, I reckon I'll just get my things and go".
For me, the choice of obeying God rather than "the man" is a no brainer, mainly because the decision was of the heart and my brain did as it was told.
There are plenty of jobs out there, I just need to find a non compliant employer. Your prayers in this regard are greatly appreciated. It's a little scary but, I know in my heart that I followed those convictions placed there by God.
