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 real hero's meant.
On Monday,
people went to work at the world trade centers
as usual ...
On Tuesday, they
died.
On Monday,
people were fighting the Ten 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 McDonald's 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, we
worried about the traffic and getting to work
late ...
On Tuesday, we
worried about a plane crashing into our house or
place of business.
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.

Then my heartfelt thanks for this
gentle reminder

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.
