What is it about how things are worded?
When the word- vulnerable– was used to talk about how the virus could affect people, I ignored it. When I heard that word used, my thoughts were:
“I have traveled to other countries solo several times and have walked in foreign cities numerous times. I am not vulnerable”
“I played American football. I am not vulnerable”
“I lived in inner city Minneapolis when I went to university. I am not vulnerable”
The list could go on.
But when I heard at risk, that sounded better and I paid attention. Risk is a word I appreciate. God has seen me through many situations where I could have been at risk such as the time I was walking across a bridge over the freeway in Minneapolis and a couple of young wanna be gang members seemed to try to force me off the bridge. I told them I was going to bible college for class and then they looked behind me frightened of something and ran off.
So at risk sounds much better and I can accept at risk such as I am over 60, I have asthma and chronic illness, so I am at risk. Yes at risk- BUT- God will see me through.
But don’t call me vulnerable. lol

God is like a shepherd who takes care of his sheep.

Haha! I wonder if God allowed them to see something in the spirit that caused them to run off. Iβve heard something similar. π€
I have wondered the same π€
Who would have thought youβd have to remind us to wash our hands lol.

At risk but not vulnerable because God is watching over you. Praise the Lord.

Words and phrasing makes a huge difference!
Yes it does. How are you?
The word “risk” definitely carries a stronger meaning. Let’s all be smart out there!
