Everyone Please Read This - Kinda Puts Things Into Perspective In These Times
What a difference a Day makes....
On Monday we emailed jokes
On Tuesday we did not
On Monday we thought that we were secure
On Tuesday we learned better
On Monday we were talking about heroes as being athletes
On Tuesday we relearned who our heroes are
On Monday we were irritated that our rebate checks had not arrived On Tuesday we gave money away to people we had never met
On Monday there were people fighting against praying in schools On Tuesday you would have been hard pressed to find a school where someone was not praying
On Monday people argued with their kids about picking up their room On Tuesday the same people could not get home fast enough to hug theirkids
On Monday people were upset that they had to wait 6 minutes in a fast food drive through line On Tuesday people didn't care about waiting up to 6 hours to give blood for the dying
On Monday we waved our flags signifying our cultural diversity On Tuesday we waved only the American flag
On Monday there were people trying to separate each other by race, sex, color and creed On Tuesday they were all holding hands
On Monday we were men or women, black or white, old or young, rich or poor, gay or straight, Christian or non-Christian. On Tuesday we were Americans
On Monday politicians argued about budget surpluses
On Tuesday grief stricken they sang 'God Bless America'
On Monday the President was going to Florida to read to children On Tuesday he returned to Washington to protect our children
On Monday we had families
On Tuesday we had orphans
On Monday people went to work as usual
On Tuesday they died
On Monday people were fighting the 10 commandments on government property On Tuesday the same people all said 'God help us all while thinking "Thou shall not kill'
It is sadly ironic how it takes horrific events to place things intoperspective, but it has. The lessons learned this week, the things we have taken for granted, the things that have been forgotten or overlooked, hopefully will never be forgotten again.
