Love that Amazon Prime!

You, too — especially this time of year — can hop on amazon.com and purchase most anything your heart desires. As I strolled through the site recently in hopes of making an increased dent in this year’s Christmas shopping, I found a unique product… one, perhaps, that many seem to already own — and, have already utilized…

It’s a cheap product… but also, seemingly, fairly popular. I speak of none other than, that one thing that’s certainly on everyone’s shopping lists… those, great…

“BIG TAB INSERTABLE PLASTIC DIVIDERS”!!

Excellent. There’s nothing quite like creative, functional office supplies.

They’re big.
They’re insertable.
They’re plastic.
And they’re dividers.

Allow me, if you will, to acknowledge what dividers do…

They’re big…
… meaning you can see them; they’re noticeable.

They’re insertable…
… meaning they go where you put them.

They’re plastic…
… meaning they’re not real nor organic; they’re artificial.

And they divide…
… meaning they purposely split things apart.

Allow me to say such again for emphasis. Dividers are intentionally inserted into a specific spot. The placement is intentional… purposeful. The division is willingly created.

Friends, one of my greatest frustrations in this day and age is how people play the role of dividers. That means they noticeably, intentionally attempt to split us apart.

It is certainly true that we can’t all agree nor align on all things. It is equally true that we shouldn’t be so divided.

There is no reason to be divided, for example, in our assessment that ISIS is evil and attempting to destroy us; we need to eliminate their threat; we need to care for the American people.

There is no reason, too, to be divided in our assessment that the Syrian refugees need to be cared for; people are in need; we need to help. It is also true we can help here or there, and it’s reasonable to pause prior to welcoming potential, possible terrorists into this country.

It bothers me, friends, when persons attempt to identify the enemy in this world as anything other than the “evil” that exists. To identify Republicans as the enemy… Democrats as the enemy… please…

Any who engages in such is foolish and incorrect.

They also have far too much in common with office supplies.

Respectfully…
