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 their kids
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 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 into
perspective, 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.
