He practiced what he preached — then he died of coronavirus.

An evangelical pastor died of COVID-19 just weeks after proudly showing
off how packed his Virginia church was — and vowing to keep preaching
“unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”

In his last known in-person service on March 22, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn
got his congregation at Richmond’s New Deliverance Evangelistic Church
to stand to prove how many were there despite warnings against
gatherings of more than 10 people.

“I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can
quote me on that,” he said, repeating it a second time to claps, saying
that “people are healed” in his church.

Happily announcing he was being “controversial” by being “in violation”
of safety protocols — with “way more than 10 people” at the church — he
vowed to keep his church open “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”

“I am essential,” he said of remaining open, adding, “I’m a preacher — I
talk to God!”

On Sunday, his church announced “with an exceedingly sorrowful and heavy
heart” that the pastor had died a week after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

His wife, Marcietia Glenn, is also sick with the bug, with church
members offering their prayers.

Trump and thereby defeat him in the fall election.

maybe he believ3ed in the words of the apostle Paul who said in Plillipians 1:21-23

"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: "


More likely, he was just another religious dumb****.

Actually I think it is just the money for some of these guys and they
take advantage of people's beliefs to get it.
You know, like the DNC.



But... he said: “I am essential,” he said of remaining open, adding,
“I’m a preacher — I talk to God!”

Apparently his god didn't think much of what the preacher said.

Maybe God didn't think he was rendering enough to Caesar.
When God is ****ed at you it makes the IRS look like sissies ;-)


I suppose any ignorant belief is possible if you are religious.

I could say the same thing about being a liberal democrat.

Ignorant beliefs are not limited to spiritual things.
You actually believe the government can do things more efficiently and
cheaper than the private sector and you have no proof either.



Did you see how quickly GM set up a ventilator assembly area
and started shipping them?
(once they got over their ass chewing by Trump)

Imagine the Federal government being in charge of doing the
same from scratch. They'd still be working on the executive
summary of what a ventilator is.

The ironic thing is the epicenter, NYC, never ran out of ventilators
and now they are shipping their surplus west. (But I seem to remember
someone saying that) ;-)

Our main medical conglomerate here is saying they are at less than
half capacity and they have plenty of ventilators. If you can believe
the numbers, we have hit the flat spot on our curve too. I still
wonder what will happens when the old folks come out from under the
bed but the young people seem to be out and about, as much as they can
with the places that are open.

As it turns out it seems everything I do is "essential" and my life
hasn't really changed that much. The only place I am avoiding is the
barber shop and Harry will say that is normal for me too. I haven't
been to Lowes or HD for a while but that is because I am supporting my
locally owned Ace Hardware, even if it does cost me a few extra bucks.
I am also waiting until Costco gets our dog food back in stock before
I go there. Both local locations show out of stock on the web site.I
don't really need anything else from there.
