The older ones among us remember the Boomtown Rats song written about a schoolyard shooting on January 29, 1979. Brenda Ann Spencer killed two adults and injured eight children and one police officer. Her explanation for her actions was "I don't like Mondays; this livens up the day."
We are heading full throttle into another week, for the most of us we don't like Mondays... In the Genesis account the only day God did not say something was good was Monday! God understands that some days feel different to others. Think of God watching his son on Good Friday which we celebrate shortly. We can live our lives in very different ways - We can live so that our lives have positive outcomes for other people or that impact negatively on others.
Whether we like Mondays or not it doesn't matter we can not just live as we please, I don't think for a minute that most of us are going to Shoot the whole day down. Geldof wrote the song as he saw the Telex printer churn out the news story... One of the lyrics is
The telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a waiting world...
What is your telex machine going to type to the waiting world this Monday?
