I have NOT been vaccinated.
Go ahead and gasp in shock. I will wait.....
I am thinking about getting vaccinated.
NOW the other half of the room can gasp in shock.
I await ALL of your article links informing me how uninformed I am.
The truth is, I have spent the entire pandemic traveling the world. This year, in 2021, I have been on a plane flying to a different country about every week. I have been pretty irresponsible - speaking in large groups, hosting illegal meetings, not wearing a mask, hugging, shaking hands, licking door knobs - you know the usual.
I have also been tested more than anyone reading this post.
Let's be honest - there will a huge group of people celebrating when I finally get COVID.
But after traveling around the world, experiencing the lockdowns in China, US, and Europe as well as enjoying the relative freedom of movement in Sudan, Iraq, and Sweden - I have a few opinions.
You asked for them. Now you got them.

@sinbach
I think you getting vaxed would be crazy, but you can do whatever you want homeboy.
Like you, I've been in almost every state several times since Jan 2020.
@AaronMcKinney what other countries have you traveled to since Jan 2020?
@sinbach Only Canada and Mexico. I should of said like you, but mini you.
and, by the way, I listened to the whole podcast - which i really enjoyed as usual - but got to the end and was still waiting for the bit I'd find really upsetting ;-)

PS I'm now off to hunt for that odd shaped box I need to try and fit into 😃
@Berrybunchfamily i guess you were not upset, because we are in a similar box?
@sinbach quite probably...doing what God asks rarely looks normal, but it is how I live now...Im not sure what normal is, or should look like
And I get your job title issue...I try and avoid it too...stay at home dad? Minister? Children's minister? Worship leader? All of those things... although we don't currently have a church (shock, horror) to go to, but that only defnes the geography of my worship, and not my purpose of my worship
When people got their vaccine I was happy for them.
When they didn't I was happy for them.
As long as they're doing it, with peace, because they're following what God is asking them to do, rather than what any other source is asking them to do, albeit speaking louder, then awesome, and crack on!
And, oi!! i thought that box was my own!! So what are you doing in it? 'cos now it's overcrowded 😂
@Berrybunchfamily yep. that's the space where I am living
@sinbach don't put that crap in your body.
@sinbach
Wow! I wanted to stop like 8 times while listening to the podcast and come here to dingdash and say how much I love you brother.
Wow. The more I listen, the more I love you bro.
So beautifully said and shared. And although like you said, not everyone is exactly the same and will agree with everything that one says, I still love your personality and way of expressing yourself and I really love the fact that you won't let others shame you, and you relish in that fact. I know it might sound like I'm blowing smoke, but our personalities and sense of humor are very similar, so it's super refreshing listening these relevant podcasts and a joy. Bless you Eugene!
@OneofTen thanx so much for those kind words
@sinbach
Your welcome. 😊
@sinbach I so so so enjoy listening to you! I always get a good laugh and you didn't let me down on this one! I haven't gotten the shot, I'm never sick, I have a good immune system and ....well all that as you mentioned, in fact I was exercising as I listened. ( Laughing while lifting weights is a good core workout) You didn't offend me with either view, I walk with the same thoughts... God bless your day.
@sinbach awwwww, you gave me a ❤️! I'm honored....just don't breath on me!!!
@sinbach we're in the second camp too...but we've never really, yet, found a box we fit in comfortably ;-)
