Hello Grafted in Reader,
Today is Tuesday, Oct. 15 in my corner of blog-land. It is also the second day of the festival, Feast of Tabernacles or Booths on the Jewish faith calendar. This feast is seven days in length and recalls God caring for the Exodus when they wandered in the wilderness forty years. So too, God cares for us in our respective life periods.
I am quietly observing this feast, as my aging father in another state is moving from independence to semi-dependence. He is going on age 95, and is a very real reminder that we don't have qualities of infallibility. I will be visiting him later this week for three days.
Our health column from the Mayo Clinic this week offers some info about infections.
Did you know viruses or viri are smaller than bacteria?
According to the Mayo newsletter, Housecall,
Viruses require a host albeit person, plant, or animal.
Once comfy inside, they get assertive and order the cell machinery to make more of them. The common cold, TB and AIDS are virus examples.
Infection caused by bacteria are generally treated with antibiotics. Pneumonia and bronchitis are infections, requiring more assertive treatments.
Examples of bacterial infection occur in the urinary tract and throat, known as Urinary Tract Infection and Strep Throat, respectively.
Meantime, wishing you good or better health as God is present with us in every season.
