I’ve spoken with my friend in more detail, and they estimate that they were infectious from maybe the second week of February, and are (with the benefit of hindsight) fairly sure from whom they got the virus.

Or maybe the notion that having faith is all about about getting away with being stupid?

The Trump-Covid business is all very curious. If he did have it, he clearly benefited from a monumental barrage of treatment and/or has been very lucky. Fortunately, if the whole show was meant to be a campaign ploy of some kind, it appears that many Americans are simply not ‘buying it’ – Biden-Harris is now polling at around the same level as Obama-Biden in 2008.

I keep thinking of VIneyard as a Calvary Chapel
You’re not too far off — John Wimber was affiliated with the Calvary Chapel empire for a little while. But they were not as big on “signs and wonders” as he wanted to be, so he went off on his own with the Vineyard churches (which already existed as a small group of churches, but took off under Wimber).

Greg Laurie can also trace his roots back to Calvary Chapel.

PastorGregLaurieOfVineyard(TM)…

Just like PastorChuckSmithCalvaryChapelCostaMesa(TM) and PastorRaulReesCalvaryChapelWestCovina(TM), a regular feature on local Christianese AM Radio during my time in-country. I keep thinking of VIneyard as a Calvary Chapel; they sure scratched each others’ back on the AM airwaves with near-identical radio shows.
