I felt led to post this today. It is about 9/11...may we never forget the lessons that we all learned that day. I pray that we still continue to the remember how to prioritize our lives as we learned to do on Tuesday.

On Monday, there were people fighting against praying in school.
On Tuesday, you would have been hard pressed to find a school where someone was not praying.

On Monday, there were people who 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 in terms of athletes.
On Tuesday, we relearned what hero meant.

On Monday, people went through their work day at the World Trade Center, as usual.
On Tuesday, they died.

On Monday, people were fighting about the Ten Commandments on government property.
On Tuesday, the same people all said, "God help us all," while thinking, "Thou shalt 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 our 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 e-mailed 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.
