On Monday / On Tuesday

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 there were people were trying to separate each other by race, sex, color and creed
On Tuesday they were all holding hands

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 what hero meant

On Monday people went to work at the world trade centers 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'

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 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 they were lining up to give blood for the dying

On Monday politicians argued about budget surpluses
On Tuesday grief stricken they sang 'God Bless America'

On Monday we worried about the traffic and getting to work
late
On Tuesday we worried about a plane crashing into your house
or place of business

On Monday we were irritated that our rebate checks had not
arrived
On Tuesday we saw people celebrating people dying in the USA

On Monday some children had solid families
On Tuesday they were orphans

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 emailed jokes
On Tuesday we did not

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.


On Monday - pray and be thankful
On Tuesday - pray and be thankful
On Wednesday - pray and be thankful
On Thursday - pray and be thankful
On Friday - pray and be thankful
On Saturday - pray and be thankful
On Sunday - pray and be thankful
 
The hardest lessons are those that have to be paid for in blood.
