Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! I am in perfect health, so I am not at risk in that category. My problem is that I am approaching 60, which is considered "At Risk" in today's world. I am in agreement with that because it seems each day we (who are saved through the blood of Jesus) continue to live another day at risk in this mess of unsaved humanity. It is getting very tiring living in an environment where up is down, down is up, wrong is right, and right is wrong. GOOD takes a hit every day and is punished while BAD overcomes deceitfulness and wins. I am required to take the vaccine today even though I am in perfect health and don't want to take it. I like what TR said, "If the vaccine hastens our life here on Earth, all the sooner to see Jesus!" If it came down to it, I'm ready to go sooner than later to be with the Lord in Paradise!!! Humbly I am of the opinion that the day of my birth and death are already predetermined! Being born at 17 ounces and two months pre-mature as well as having survived 4 heart attacks, the hairs upon my head are numbered! TR Humbly, I work from home so right now this is not an issue for me; however, like you it concerns me that we all may be forced to take the vaccine at some point. I don't get the flu shot either and am totally against this crazy push for this vaccine. I am already mentally preparing myself. It is my belief that if there are serious issues with these vaccines, God will protect us. Today was your day; so I would recommend declaring these scriptures over yourself. Mark 16:17,18 "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon formed against you will prosper" Psalm 92:12-15 "The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. As you know, God's word is true and His words will not return void. I am of the opinion that the day of my birth and death are already predetermined! I completely agree! Great verses! TR Seeking Illumination -- thank you for your edifying words: "God will protect us. ... Mark 16:17,18 “... and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them." I reflected upon this verse the entire time I was waiting in line to be administered a shot I did not want. If I didn't need my income to continue living a somewhat happy life in this world, I would not have taken it. In addition, my family were all over my case and I wish to live in as much peace as I can until the end -- no need to enlargen the divide between the unsaved members of my family. The members of this forum are truly an inspirational crowd -- always encouraging others that are down and attempting to alleviate fears and concerns. Thank you all!! Humbly Humbly, I am so happy to hear you were able to read the post and find the scriptures before your appointment! I am praying for your continued health, along with my friends and family who have already taken the vaccine. He Who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. Thank you Seeking Illumination! For all those of us who are saved in Jesus, we are protected by His Holy Spirit until He comes for us -- which I hope is very soon. I don't think I, or most of us here, can last another one, two, three, or four years until He comes. I truly pray it is THIS year and THIS Spring!! Your pal, Humbly From your lips to God's ears! TR TR -- I hope God's big ears are listening to my little mouth (and the mouths of all other believers) and comes NOW instead of "soon". This vaccine that is currently administered directly into our arm is a precursor to the MOB -- a test run to determine how fast and how efficient the sheeple can be corralled and manipulated into believing a lie. The MOB is on the horizon, and it will not be a shot, it will be a decision -- deny Jesus and accept the mark in your hand or forehead or be executed... "“…and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17)." I'm glad we will be gone by then. Humbly 
13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age;
They will flourish and be [a]vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment];
15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
