Christ has prepared a small splinter of His cross to share with me.
It’s so small that it’s a bit laughable.
Indeed, if it’s not sacrilegious to say, one might be tempted to call my little portion of the Cross “cute”.
I’m reminded of when a small child wants to imitate their parents, and so the parents buy them a child version of some too…
Victor Frankl maintains that man’s greatest desires are not simply for a easy life with no struggle or tension, but for “worthy goals” and for a life of meaning and purpose where we forget ourselves in the service of others.

What about the Menachery paper? What about the original SARS (which I suspect I may have had back in 2003, as I was in Seattle and a lot of Chinese come and go on that side)? Multiple release theory is plausible, IMO. GoF, I don't know. Maybe it was engineered to have a low CFR so it can spread everywhere, not kill too many people, but be used as an instrument of fear. In fact, a low CFR could result in killing more people, as it gets to spread more and take longer to burn out. SARS and MERS were more lethal, but burned out faster. There is ome thing that is more clear though. The best delivery method for a bioweapon is not a virus; it's a needle.
