Alexa in the Morning, by Mark Tulin
12/8/2020
Alexa, the black cylinder with the blue flashing light: Good morning, Jack. It is 630 a.m. Time to wake up.
Jack: Alexa, It’s too early.
Alexa: Jack, you programed me last night. I am doing my job.
Jack puts a pillow over his head.
Alexa: Remember that morning is God’s way of saying that you have another chance to make a difference.
Jack: Alexa, what kind of difference?
Alexa: To touch someone’s heart, encourage a mind, or inspire a soul.
Jack: Alexa, that seems like too much work.
Alexa: In that case, Jack. Just try not to offend anyone.

“Just try not to offend anyone.” Words to live by! 🙂
Not so easy, though. 🙂
