Sorry. Typo. That should say 2020 Sucks!

Yes. Definitely a typo.

Maybe next year can be 2020 and this year be 0 and NEVER Exist!

...because we need to make it up! Even with 2016, despite my mom dying as well as all those celebrity deaths...The Cavs won it all and we went out and did things!

I already said that this decade is gonna be The Boring 20's!

My bad year was 2017 and I want to forget it (what little I remember). It started in January with my mom dying unexpectedly hen two weeks later my grandpa dying (this was expected). Then a week before Ash Wednesday I got strep throat which caused me to miss the beef dinner at the church that Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. On and off from February until May I was either bedridden or in the hospital. Did I mention on top of it I was in school? Yep though luckily most of my classes were online and the one not, he put our assignments online, let us go early and some weeks we had online assignments. Then I also got kidney issues and was misdiagnosed with liver cancer (falsely thankfully) but for months I threw up and couldn't eat. Plus my arthritis caused my ankles to swell and couldn't walk and then my skin started burning and peeling. I have a form of psoriasis which caused it to become dangerous and back to the hospital I went. Then to add to everything, a counseling program I really wanted to enroll in, I got rejected, though I had a 4.0 (yes managed to get straight A's while being sick). 2018 kind of stunk too (severe bullying by my one professor who pushed me into a wall and belittled me in class)but at least no illness.

Why would you say that? 2020 rocks!
Every day of life is something to be thankful to God for being granted.
And every year since the fall of man has its share of hardships due to the curse of sin the entire world is still under.
Thankfully, Jesus has come and defeated sin through His death and Resurrection and offers forgiveness of it for anyone who puts faith in Him and follows Him.
And when He returns, everything will be restored to perfection as He originally made things to be.

That’s great if someone’s thing is sitting home alone all day with the Bible (and that’s fine, more power to you). But many people worldwide prefer to go out, make a living, be with other other people, and basically go outside without fear of a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus. So I don’t think you’re gonna find too many 2020 supporters.

Sorry about what happened...the reason why 2020 is the WORST year ever for me is...not because of this panicdemic...but I have a father who's recovering from a stroke and may die...2020 is dead to me!

Best of wishes to you and your dad. I am adding him and you to my prayer list, I know how it feels to have a sick parent and it's hard.

Then don't trivialize my beliefs in the easter bunny

Okay, sorry

But many people worldwide prefer to go out, make a living, be with other other people, and basically go outside without fear of a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus. So I don’t think you’re gonna find too many 2020 supporters.

Sitting at home alone all day with The Bible is definitely my thing.:):cool:
I also enjoy going out and making a living and being with other people and going outside without fear of a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus. It's okay to do more than one of those things.
And I have faith in God that's greater than fear of a virus. I believe in taking proper precautions but I also believe in trusting my life in God's hands. (Romans 14:8)
All I was trying to say is that I'm not writing 2020 off as a loss because of tragic disease in the world that's forced me and so many others to drastically alter habits and ways of doing life.
I'm thankful to God for every day He gives me regardless of what happens. He's always in control and I know that the struggles I go through on Earth are still momentary and light compared to the weight of glory coming. (See Romans 8.)

say hello to the easter bunny for me
I said hello to the God who made the bunny and all other animals for you- and the God who died to pay for all our sins and rose again on Easter Sunday. I celebrate the salvation from sin, death and hell that Jesus brought at Easter and every day! I pray He blesses you richly.:):cool:

Not cool to trivialize someone's beliefs
Thank you for that. That's a great reminder for all of us.

I'm thankful to God for every day He gives me regardless of what happens. He's always in control So nobody has any control over their own actions and they're not responsible. Whatever. Enjoy your "faith."

2020 sucks!!!

So nobody has any control over their own actions and they're not responsible. Whatever. Enjoy your "faith."
I certainly enjoy my faith. No air quotes needed. It's real and active. However, the fact that God is in total control does not mean that no humans have control over their own actions and are not responsible for anything.
That is getting into the question of free will versus determinism.
If you're really interested in an answer to that, here's a great response from Ravi Zacharias, noted Christian apologist who just went to be with The Lord Jesus in Heaven the other day.

God does indeed give humans free will. That doesn't negate His sovereignty. Romans 9 explains this in depth as well.
And because God is in full control, I certainly still maintain that 2020 rocks!
Feel free to enjoy negativity if you prefer but I would rather choose optimism and resting in the knowledge that everything that befalls me is according to God's plan and He always has my best interests in mind.

Good answer. It is a combination of both... our free will and God's will. Sometimes we pray for something which doesn't happen but it turns out it would harm us in the long run. Like a relationship or a job, for example.

Thanks. And yes- you said it well.

By page two the opening joke doesn’t really work anymore, so I changed the thread title to a more appropriate one.

It could be that your emotional distress from your relatives dying caused your
health to be poor for a while. But I am glad your got your health back again.

That's your opinion.

Yes, but it is mine and I am not going to force it on you.

OMG ! They can't expect them to wear masks !? They will suffocate!! :( Seriously, they can't he running around and jumping with their mouth and noses covered ! Plus it will obstruct there view ! It is awkward wearing a mask just walking down the street or in a store let alone running around on a basketball court !! :confused:

That’s not serious, just a photo someone mocked up. But every team is already selling masks with their logo on it. I’d get the Jets one, but it’s a choking hazard. (Get it? The Jets are always choking i.e blowing games. ‘Cuz they suck. Oh, never mind :wave:)

My Hubby and I both have Dodger masks ! They are pretty blue( Dodger colors) with the LoGo on it ;) I wear it when I wear blue clothing! I have a pink mask, a green mask, a flowered mask ! I try to always match my masks with what I'm wearing ! :)

Yeah, matching them with my outfits is making it seem like a normal fashion accessory, like something we have to get used to ! :( I can't wait till we don't have to wear them anymore ! ;)

wearing a mask to entertainment outings is pointless and better to stay home

Christmas might as well be cancelled this year...it seems that for the first time in history...everything is/was cancelled.

I can't even say "Happy New Year" when 2021 arrives...I STILL wish that 2021 is the new 2020.

This comic from Family Circus is 2020 in a nutshell...waking-up to a new year...then it's NOT even January and you're super-depressed! I even took-down my 2020 calendar and if I got a 2021 calendar...I'm editing it as 2020!

That's what we said after 9/11. Society will eventually recover from the virus. What I'm worried about is ending the riots encouraged by de blasio et. al.

2001 and 2012 falls right in line with 2020. Worst years of my life

My personal life is in shambles and I don't need to remind you all of the state the world is in. I'm still clinging to the hope I will at least emerge from all of this having learned the valuable lesson that the good times are absolutely not to be taken for granted.

say hello to the easter bunny for me

I'm not religious but I tend to find that during difficult times, religious people tend to weather the storm much better than everyone else, because they have their faith to get them through it. Atheists, who tend to be nihilists, not so much...

That's what we said after 9/11. Society will eventually recover from the virus. What I'm worried about is ending the riots encouraged by de blasio et. al.

Life as we once knew it did most certainly end on 9/11. Just a few examples: twin towers in New York demolished and gone forever, countless dead Americans, overseas deployment, war, etc. How is that not life altering? And no, society will never be the same as it once was. It's been over 35 years and there is still no cure/vaccine for AIDS. Covid-19 is actually much worse than AIDS as you can't get AIDS by being breathed on like Covid and AIDS never caused mass global shutdowns.

And this is what I don't understand...when there was the AIDS epidemic, people weren't running around saying "I hope Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher get AIDS" nor there was "Rainbow Lives Matter" people looting in the streets...I think the AIDS epidemic is to control the population, that's why there won't be a cure!
