Oh my, Donna! You’ve had such unusual experiences–I’d love to sit and listen to you tell stories about them each! I had no idea of your background. Yes, you’ve definitely earned your way out of this bias if anyone has. 🙂

I’m finding with the big things that happen in life, I don’t put my head in the sand, but I get overwhelmed very easily. I have to give myself time to pray and process so I can figure out how to function. Such a great post!

However I see this happen often in situations at the hospital with patient families.

But in the long run it often causes problems. And then we have a bigger problem to deal with.

I watched the Johns Hopkins virus counts daily and finally the numbers convinced me precautions were necessary and life would change for the foreseeable future. I hoped things would be back to normal by March of this year…but it looks like not. I’m praying we can have a normal school year next year!

So it’s a tale almost as old as time, I suppose. It’s hard to honestly face reality when we so badly want to believe it’s going to turn out a different way. I appreciate your tips for how to avoid normalcy bias. (And the humorous illustrations provide a bit of sugar to help them medicine go down.) 🙂

We can’t ignore what goes on but have to rely on the Spirit. Live in the natural but depend on the supernatural. I recall people not leaving during Katrina, even partying. And I believe it was Drucilla from the Bible who was killed in that eruption.
