I read it to mean, "religious or Church services" are allowed to be exempt from the stay at home order, and at least in Florida, stay to under 10.
We have closed our Church because of a lot of elderly, and underlying health disorders if which I am one of them.
I had open heart surgery 5 years ago, and a couple of years ago, I developed an irregular heartbeat. It was contained with Ameoderone.
Well after a few years of taking Ameoderone, late last December I was sick with what turned out to be hyperthyroidism. I was getting ready for Church and was weak and shaking and drove myself to the hospital for an admission that lasted 9 days. After blood tests over the past three months, the Ameoderone is still in my system nececestating me taking a huge amount of drugs, (I feel like a drug addict) to keep my body somewhat balanced. My Endocrinologist told me to self isolate in early March, my GZp said the same thing, my family and Church said the same thing.
I am in a high risk group that would put me in second place behind seniors over 70.
So, we have Church at home. BOTT, Bri Jeff Arnold band my favorite, Bro Chester Wright.
God is good. He could come back in 2020. Heaven is looking better and better, but what did the Apostle Paul say? For me to live is Christ, bit to die gain!
I told my family, keep my headstone simple and don't throw money in the ground. On the headstone have this inscription from Rev Cleveland's song.
JESUS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME!������

Churches that insist on meeting during a pandemic send a clear message to the community: we don't care if you live or die.

I was thinking the same for any place where there are gatherings of ...let's say 10 or more, and just for fun let's pick a specific one ....how about Krogers.

That's ridiculous. Every church I know that is still having services have encouraged those that are at risk to stay home if they don't feel it would be wise to attend.

Or maybe the people that show up are saying that they live in faith not fear.

But that is hard for the faithless to understand.

You should walk around town, touching every handrail and doorknob you can. Shake everyone's hands and hug everyone you come near. Then grab a burger and fries, eat them and lick your fingers to get that extra sauce that dripped on them.

Walk your talk, boy! Faith without fear!
