Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) urged residents to remain indoors for the Easter holiday and mandated that anyone who breaks the state's stay-at-home order will have to self-quarantine for two weeks. Beshear will enforce his state's laws by recording the license plates of any person attending Easter services or other gatherings. The residents will then receive quarantine notices in person. "This is a time and weekend, a whole week for multiple faiths, that is about faith. It's about knowing we have faced as people - as Christians, as Jews, as members of many faiths - many difficult, dark times, and we have prevailed," Beshear said Friday. "We know that the weeks or the months ahead will be difficult. We know that there are going to be tougher days before there are easier days." "This is the only way we can ensure that your decision doesn't kill someone else," he added. Beshear said the state government is only aware of six churches that are planning to hold in-person services for Easter. Those attending any gathering will be charged with a misdemeanor violation of the emergency orders issued by the governor and Kentucky Department for Public Health. "I want to encourage you to meet together separately this Sunday, to remind you that on that first Easter Jesus came to people behind locked doors," Chris Michael, pastor of the First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, said. "He will come to you as well." The announcement comes as a handful of churches around the country buck state orders, drawing national headlines with controversial in-person services. Kentucky has had nearly 1,700 confirmed coronavirus cases and 90 deaths. Public officials have credited social distancing measures with helping slowly curb outbreaks in a number of states and have warned that reversing such practices could lead to a dangerous COVID-19 resurgence. However, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) slammed Beshear's order, saying he needs to "take a step back." "Taking license plates at church? Quarantining someone for being Christian on Easter Sunday? Someone needs to take a step back here," Paul, a staunch libertarian, tweeted. Taking license plates at church? Quarantining someone for being Christian on Easter Sunday?

Aren't the liquor stores still open in Kentucky? If so, then I guess churches could hold their services in the parking lot? Well, maybe all but the Baptists -- my neighbor says that Baptists don't recognize each other at the liquor store.
When I came to Kentucky I noticed some of the beverage stores had a drive-thru window. The drinkers called it the preachers' window. Those Baptists don't dance either, unless it's the 10 p.m. horizontal zoomba.
You know why Baptists don't have sex standing up? It might lead to dancing.
Back when, I found just the opposite to be true...go figger. Why else would a man dance?

Okay, I'm going to off the topic to tell you this story. Things are slow and I'm bored. === An Army man arrives at Harvard to pursue his MBA and then teach at West Point. He sees his advisor and picks up his curriculum and then seeks his books. While walking across campus, he asks, "Hey buddy, where's the book store at?" The Harvard man replies, "Excuse me, but we don't end our sentences in a preposition." Army man, "Okay, where's the book store at, asshole!"
