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.
