Probably. Because people are so easily offended these day. And they’re so quick to anger. And so slow to wisdom. But guess what? That’s not new. You might believe you’re part of the cream of the cause du jour. But you’re only doing what human beings have done for thousands of years. Rebelling against God.

I’m gonna share a Tuesday poem with you. But only if you promise to share it with your kids or grandkids. Deal? OK, great. But I’ve got a couple of things to say before I share the Tuesday poem. Yeah, you didn’t think I would just write a poem about Tuesday and send you on your merry way, did you? Naw, That just ain’t … The rest of the story…
It’s true. Tomorrow is a concept. Not a reality. If someone came to you asking for a ride because their car broke down, would you tell them to come back tomorrow? Probably not. Right? What if they needed to borrow money, and you have plenty you could lend? Would you tell them to wait until tomorrow? Hmm, that’s a little different. Or is it? … The rest of the story…
