Renae and Dwayne Knowles' Guestbook

Fellow wailer here for you!!!
I agree with you that the most frustrating part of this is the illogical government regulations and overreacting response to the virus. I say, let the virus run rampant across our countries to build up herd immunity, and advise those at risk, such as myself, to maintain social distancing and washing hands often. And it that doesn't work, I'll take hydrochloroquine which big pharma is fighting like hell to keep from being the inexpensive solution to the whole mess. The big argument here is that Trump believes that he can lift the shutdown, and the governors think only they can. The matter is moot as without Trump's support for more money, the governors will then have the bear the financial burden of a continued shutdown in their own state. I appreciate what you wrote about Good Friday and Easter.

I'm pleased to hear that you made it home!
You experienced bureaucracy at its worst and inconsistent behavior. Trump really is trying to break through this bureaucracy. My guess is that he is going to start reopening our economy on 1 May, despite the screams of his medical advisors and their supporters of the main stream media. I'm in the 65+ age with underlying conditions so I will continue to practice social distancing and hand washing, but that's it because if I catch Covid-19 I will just get a prescription for hydrochloriquine and be done with it. The U.S. should be letting a herd immunity build up.

Precious friend, your struggle is real, but Your Saviour has not forgotten you. Each worry you've had. Each tear you've shed. He has seen each one and is right by your side even now giving you strength, giving you courage, flooding you with hope, surrounding you with protection, covering you with grace. You know whom you have believed... He is in this boat with you... and He's heard your cry! 😭 He's not sleeping. Stand up with Him now. Call upon Jesus' faith to so fill you that you can speak peace and hope into the ship wherever you are! There is no greater power on earth than all that is bestowed in your best friend! He will never leave your side!!! PAPA GOD, our loving King, be very near to Renae and Dwayne right now and all those on their boat. Stand up in their ship this moment and speak words of peace, healing, restoration, life and courage. Squeeze their hands Lord Jesus to remind them that you are near. Be not slow in hearing our prayer. Defend your servants. Protect them from all harm and give them a soon rescue we pray! Amen

Yes, I saw your ship on the news...
and then awaited your blog for the personal impact. I'm not sure if they will report on your ship until you arrive in the States, so please keep blogging. I pray for your safety and health.

Hi Dwayne and Renae, Mark and i hope you have a great celebration for your wedding anniversary ... despite your confined quarters. You have certainly been having an adventure ... though very different to the
one your anticipated and planned. We are praying for your safe return. xx

It's nice to hear about your trip in almost real time...
with updates about how the Covid-19 virus is affecting you. Even without these updates, yours is one of the better "cruise" blogs I've read with all the interesting details. I look forward to reading about how all this turns out.

Hi Renae & Dwayne.
You two are gamer than Ned KELLY heading off into the unknown! Honestly. Praying you will stay free if this wretched virus spreading the globe. Take care at all times. And remember what MUMs always say! “Don’t forget to wash you hands!” Tread carefully. Our prayers go with you. Merilyn.

Have you read Bernard Cornwell series on Sharpe?
Hi Renae, Portugal (and Spain) is one of my bucket list locations, mainly due to my love of historical fiction and specifically for there the "Sharpe Series" by Bernard Cornwell who uses a figure of Richard Sharpe to follow Wellington's Peninsula War between Britain and France all the way through to the final battle of Waterloo in 1815. Here is one book from the series based around Coimbra http://www.bernardcornwell.net/books/sharpes-escape-2/ Keep on travelling safe. Love your posts. Thanks,
