This summer, one man will travel miles...to a forgotten people...to save a nation...and honor his wife. 

The Day the World Sneezed tells a story of hope, helping others, and finding the "lighthearted" moments in the midst of tragedy.

There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate." So he divided his property between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and there...wait, wrong story! 

There was a man named Elmer who had no sons. The man had a wife, but she died, so he divided all her Amazon purchases between a barn out back of his farm house and a storage facility in a rural part of America that almost no one ever visits. Not long after that, a man from the Bureau of Land Management stopped by to ask if the old man was stockpiling cleaning supplies - supplies vital to stopping the spread of a really bad "crud" sweeping across America. Elmer said he was. The bureau man made Elmer an offer he could refuse, which Elmer did. Not long after the bureau man drove away, Elmer got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and there...is where the story begins - as does our story during this weird time in history we call 2020.

Elmer's journey covers news reports as they happened from March 14 through April 6. This is by design. Years from now listeners may wonder what all the fuss was about. Part of Elmer's story is to document events as they happened during his journey in the weeks following the spread of COVID-19 across America. As with all things in life, Elmer faced a choice: work for the good of others or serve and save himself. The Day the World Sneezed is one man's account of how he lived by the Golden Rule.
