Wake up call


An emergency room nurse works long, hard hours giving all she has to save lives.

A police officer works in a dangerous neighborhood daily with frequent life-threatening incidents as part of the job.

A mentally ill man uses every resource he can command to survive on the streets with almost no help

A charity worker gives 30 years of her life to the poor, taking almost no vacations from the work.

A soldier lives under siege in the hot desert, dodging land mines and surface fire.

A nun well into her 70’s ministers to orphan children.

The President of the United States golfs every weekend, living in his narcissistic bubble of self-superlatives, “perfect” decisions and twisted truths.

That’s a wake-up call in my book.
