Romans12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

I delivered 9 paper routes. I was allowed out because i was considered essential since most people had no communications or news sources. The paper was their news.

I also worked the 2015 flood in Rainelle WV. I have never seen such devastation as whole houses were washed away. The National Guard worked for months cleaning up debris. I was infected with black mold working there and am still treated to this day for it.
