Everybody has virtue

   
   "Everybody has virtue"
  
   This is kinda/sorta an ode to a former President, Bill Clinton.  I don't know the story well.  Was probably having a few beers when I heard it on the radio.  Yes, I still listen to radio, and @ home no less.
   Anyway, somebody got sick and put in a medical facility that was involved in Clinton's life.  He (President Clinton) never missed a visitation with that man; specifically, President Clinton showed up every week to sit and talk with his sick friend, never missing a beat.  He liked Kennedy too.  Who doesn't like Kennedy?  Hard-drinking Irishman, liked the ladies, and kicked ass, asking his own people upon a visit to the Emerald Isle:  "Why didn't you catch the boat?"  Indeed, if your boat doesn't come in; next, swim out to it--Jonathan Winters.
   We fall.  Sometimes backwards; however, sometimes forward, into the muscular arms of Jesus Christ, Son of the craftsman.  A mere worker, armed with fascination for the Old Testament, which He constantly repeated, adding his own healing yet savage flavor:  "And sin no more, or worse things will happen."  He knew our psychology, somehow--He knew it.  And I believe He knows it always.
