"What A Difference A Day Makes..."
On Monday we e-mailed 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, white or black or any
other color, old or young, rich or poor, straight or gay,
Christian, Jews, Muslim, Hindu or of other religions.
On Tuesday we were Americans.
On Monday politicians argued about budget surpluses.
On Tuesday grief stricken they sang off key "G~d 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 many 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 'G~d help us all'.
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.
