The World Has Been Serious Today

The world from my perspective has been serious today. With the tragedy in Nice, France to a national blood supply shortage to all the political games going on we are in a serious place globally and locally. This weekend is the one year anniversary of five servicemen dying here in Chattanooga by a local young man who became a terrorist (that is a word I am not fond of using but sometimes you have to).

I am a guy with a wacky sense of humor. My blog reflects that but sometimes you have to be serious. We have to focus on current events that are impacting our lives and sometimes that requires us being somber and sober about how we relate to the world.

As Jon Bon Jovi once sang we got to hold on to what we got and that is our loved ones and our friends. We have to come together to do great things that will make the bad stuff less loud. You do this by being creative, loving one another and sharing the light of your higher power. Be alive and laugh at the people who are making the world hard for us all. I am kind of tired of all the stuff going on. We need a break from it all. Hang in there good people. Stick together. We got this.

  1. I like you enjoy using humour in my blog to look at serious issues but the events in Nice really have almost no room for humour. The thing that strikes me as weird though is that this guy drove the truck almost two kilometres down the promenade which was blocked off to traffic because of the Bastille day celebrations. Why did the police allow him to do this? It wasn’t a garbage truck. If I were living in France I would really feel under siege at the moment 3 major attacks in a year and a half.
