Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Welcome once again to “Throwback Thursdays” when I share a re-run that our new listeners have not heard. This one is from Thursday, April 16, 2020. This is getting ridiculous! Did you hear about the lady in Italy who was arrested for walking her turtle? She wanted out of the house, and was allowed to walk her pet; however, she did not put a leash on her turtle, so she was fined $440.00 for being outside w/o an excuse. Had she leashed her turtle, her actions would have been considered legal. She apparently didn’t think her turtle was going to run away from her and chase after a dog, so she left the leash at home. I have never walked a turtle, but I would imagine that it takes a long time—even if you just go around the block. This lady was hoping to spend a lot of time outside, and I don’t blame her. Being cooped up is no fun after a few days. Even those who normally spend their time at home in the house, don’t like being told they can’t go out—even if they weren’t planning to go out. Freedom is God’s intended state for mankind, so we naturally want to come and go as we please. Use this extra time inside to not only catch up on your prayer time, but pray for God’s intervention and elimination of this virus and a return to the normal freedoms of life to which we are accustomed. Oh, if you do leave the house, watch out for unleashed turtles!
