Dark

Fall and winter is upon us.  The leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground.  Many of the birds are en route to warmer climates around the globe, without me, and the squirrels are gathering food for the colder seasons.

Good morning to you all.

A couple of days ago I was at work in the breakroom, watching the Weather Channel.  Now, let me say i have no control over the channels on the television.  They are I guess preset because we only have a few of them and every 30-40 minutes or so, the channel changes.

The program being aired was on extreme weather or the worst tornadoes in history.
A fellow employee walked into the breakroom and looked at the television and said "WOW!"
I then proceeded to make a poorly timed comment, which I shall not repeat, and it stopped him in his tracks.

His response to me was "that's a dark statement coming from you Darryl."
Although he could not see it, but the shame and guilt of my statement made me cringe on the inside.
"I am still human."  

Sadly, i had been feeling a dark cloud over me that day and into the night while at work.  Immediately I asked God to forgive me and with great effort I fought this 'darkness' the rest of the night and the following morning on the way home.
