What a difference a day makes

Last Monday there were a people fighting about praying in schools
Last Tuesday you would have been hard pressed to find a school where someone was not praying

Last Monday there were people trying to separate each other by race, sex, color, and creed.
Last Tuesday they were all holding hands, crying together

Last Monday we thought that we were secure
Last Tuesday we learned differently

Last Monday we were talking about heroes as being athletes
Last Tuesday we looked at firemen and EMS and learned what "hero" meant

Last Monday people were fighting the 10 commandments on government property
Last Tuesday the people, all said 'God help us all' while thinking 'Thou shall not kill'

Last Monday people argued with their kids about picking up their room
Last Tuesday people could not get home fast enough to hug their kids

Last Monday people picked up McDonalds for dinner
Last Tuesday they all ate at home around the table

Last Monday people were upset the traffic moved so slow
Last Tuesday they stood in line for hours to give blood

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

Last Monday we worried about getting to work late
Last Tuesday we worried about getting home

Last Monday we were irritated that our rebate checks had not arrived
Last Tuesday we gave to the Red Cross and Salvation Army

Last Monday some children had whole families
Last Tuesday they were orphans

Last Monday the president was going to Florida to read to children
Last Tuesday he returned to Washington to protect our children

Last Monday we emailed jokes
Last Tuesday we did not

What a difference a day makes.

Thank you for that. Very sobering words, and sadly, very true

I can't get over it. I kinda wonder when people will feel free to disagree again.

Shhh,
