I decided to be serious about counting the Omer this year.
It will give me something to do while I wait for the US to get it's act together and combat coronavirus. From my point of view, it looks like a big old mess on that side. I sincerely hope that the whole thing ends sooner rather than later but every time I hear the US President open his mouth, I doubt it.
I really miss hanging out with my friends. Takeout is not the same and I want to have a drink in a bar. I know it's for everyone's own good, but still.
Other than that I'm fine.
Or is that FINE?
Anyway while riding the storm out I explored Orthodox Judaism. I celebrated Passover by having seders on the first and second night using two different Haggadot. The second one pointed out that it never mentioned Moses. Once.
Why? Because finding your way out of your Egypt and heading toward The Promised Land is up to you.
Dovetails nicely with the religious people in my circle whose it question is, "What is your Egypt?"
Mine centers around the Promise of the US and still believing in it. How that plays out between now and the end of the year will be interesting.
