Greetings to you all on this Monday morning. I have just a few thoughts to share with you today, so grab your coffee and enjoy both this post and that glorious hot drink!
The suicide death of Mindy McCready shows me one thing: we all have a breaking point and none of us know what that breaking point is until we crash right into it. Unfortunately, one we reach that point it's too late. Anyone can say they'd never choose suicide, but we don't really know, do we? My sympathies and prayers go out to her family.
The only time I have a problem with religion is when people bastardize their religion in the name of hatred. For example, Islamic extremists and the Westboro Baptist Cult. I am shocked to learn the NFL's squeaky clean golden boy, Tim Tebow has agreed to speak at such a church. Tebow is scheduled to speak at the First Baptist Church of Dallas on April 28.The church's minister. Robert Jeffress, has called Catholicism the "genius of Satan", AIDS a "gay disease" and claims Islam promotes pedophilia. He has also made attacks against the Mormon and Jewish communities of America. Tim, please reconsider your decision to speak at this church. You are a better person than this. You have no business speaking at a church which promotes hate over tolerance and compassion.
I don't agree with John McCain much, but he's right about Benghazi. There is a massive cover-up taking place. Come clean on this, Mr. President. You owe that to the American people.
Pittsburgh Penguins winger Matt Cooke has a well earned reputation as a dirty player. But to his credit, he has worked very hard to change his game after a suspension cost him ten regular season games and the first round of the playoffs in 2011. That being said, Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk needs to stop crying and shut-up. The horrific injury to the Achilles tendon of Erik Karlsson was an accident and nothing more. Hockey is a dangerous sport and sadly, these things happen.
Thanks again for reading. I'll be back soon.
