Musical May 2022 - Day 24 - Cat's in the Cradle

All kitty cuteness aside, this is a pretty sobering song about the dangers of prioritizing your job over your children. 

Oh, sure, jobs are important, you need to provide for your family, but you must also keep in mind what will matter most many years down the road. Will your promotion or your salary really matter by that time, as opposed to how often you played with your kids, hugged them, and told them you loved them out loud? 



While we're on the subject of children, please pray and think good thoughts for the people of Uvalde, Texas. Nineteen elementary-school children and two schoolteachers lost their lives to a gun-wielding maniac today. It reminds me of that awful Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, and this is even worse. As much as I hate to think it, I'm inclined to believe today's maniac was "inspired" by the maniac of the previous decade. 

And so another vicious cycle makes another vicious round...
