It takes<br>a storm of war to call us back to our duties of peace. It takes<br>a storm of crime and juvenile delinquency to make us realize<br>that we have failed our youth. It takes a horrible conflagration<br>to make us revise our fire laws. It takes a horrible fatal car crash<br>to make us address the problem of drinking and driving. It takes<br>a horrible act of terrorism to increase our Homeland Security. I <br>can go on and on but the bottom line is that a storm wakes us <br>up and calls us back to our duty.<br><br>Finally, our lives are filled with unread books, broken promises,<br>unkept resolutions, unanswered letters and emails and even more<br>important, neglected friendships and harsh words to those we love<br>and those we don't love. It has been said this is due to our running<br>away from our duties (great or small) -- ultimately, running away<br>from the Almighty. We are all little Jonahs.<br>גמר טוב </span><br><br><br><b>Some people are so openminded that their brains fall out </b><br><div><font size="2"><b>Anonymous</b></font></div><br></body></html>
