Looking East then West

.
During our Friends and Family tour, I've seen many sunrises, and just as many sunsets.  We all know the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.  I can surely attest to that as I squint looking east every morning waiting for that first cup of coffee to work it's way into my body.  And just as difficult it is to drive west into that setting sun looking for that next RV Park adventure.  Oh how beautiful and warm our sun is.

But did you know that no matter where you stand on earth, you can never see both a sunrise and sunset at the same time?  Try it.  Get up early and look east until you have the rising sun in your face, then quickly turn snap your neck to the west.   Too late, the sunset is already passed!   No matter how quick you are, you'll never see them both.   It's impossible.

How silly it seems to some of you to even try.  For what?  We all know it to be impossible even before we try.  So why try?

Well, our Lord made it that way.  For me it is a reminder that although I sin every day, I am forgiven with each sunset and begin anew every sunrise.  What I've done the day before is over and can not be done over, but I can only wait until the next day for another chance to make things better.

See it my way.  But with a political spin, we made a mistake electing President B.O. and we need to begin anew when the sunrises on Election Day.  May God Bless America!
