America Under Attack!
Monday vs. Tuesday
On Tuesday, you would have been hard pressed to find a school where someone was not praying.
On Monday, there were people trying to separate each other by race, sex, color and creed...
On Tuesday, they were holding hands.
On Monday, we thought that we were safe and secure.
On Tuesday, we knew better.
On Monday, we were talking about heroes as being athletes.
On Tuesday, we re-learned what a "hero" really meant.
On Monday, people went to work at the World Trade Center as usual...
On Tuesday, they walked through the door for the last time.
On Monday, people were fighting the 10 Commandments on government property...
On Tuesday, the same people voiced, "God help us all" and said "Thou shalt not kill".
On Monday, people argued with their kids about picking up their room.
On Tuesday, those people could not get home fast enough to hug their kids.
On Monday, people picked up McDonalds for dinner...
On Tuesday, they stayed home.
On Monday, people were upset that their dry cleaning was not ready on time...
On Tuesday,we worried about a plane crashing into our house or place of business.
On Monday, we were irritated that our rebate checks had not arrived...
On Tuesday, we saw people celebrating Americans dying.
On Monday, some children had solid families...
On Tuesday, they were orphans.
On Monday, the President went to Florida to read to the children...
On Tuesday, he returned to Washington to protect our children.
On Monday, we e-mailed jokes...
On Tuesday, we did not.
It's sadly ironic how it takes horrific events to place things into perspective. The lessons learned this week, the things we have taken for granted, the things that have been forgotten or overlooked, hopefully never will be again.
