8-year-old hero who saved six declared honorary firefighter at funeral

I completely and utterly wept reading this story.. I have nothing more to than that.. I utterly wept…


Though I have doubts, I hope there’s a heaven.. I hope this amazing child is there.. I just cannot fathom the grief people who knew and loved Tyler Doohan are feeling..

I spent a little too much time this weekend reading news accounts of horrible situations

Locally, here in the coal region this morning, two beautiful young children died in a car accident.. Tonight I was reading about a child who died at an Atlanta airport after a display sign fell on him.. I am still following up about the story of the child in Georgia who was killed in his stroller, it was the second child who died on the mom—another older boy died in New Jersey in gun violence..


And you know what? I am sick of it all.


It’s not bad enough that I have a cold/flu type of a thing for about a week.. but all of this mental pressure was probably too much for me.


No news is good news.


The happiest people sometimes skip to the sports section..


But I cannot.


Instead, I broil with anger and simmer with agony at daily headlines from sea to bloody sea…


This is one crazy messed up world, don’t you think?

It's been a long week so far..

It has been a pretty trying day.. my  dog Bailey, after a few short years of life, was put down this evening.. It was a pretty rotten scene.. I feel absolutely terrible.. my head is pounding.. And life is .. strange. It begs the question of a post-earth existence.. What else is out there? If pets and humans once again coexist on the higher playing field of heaven.. do bad dogs go to hell? Is there a pet purgatory for animals that bit their owners.. but what if their owners were bad, too?? All of these questions, all with no answers.. All to be asked by people confused about their very essence.. All to be pondered by great minds, small minds, the mindless. Because it’s not just all great minds that think alike, but all minds in general.. We think alike because we are human. And since we are human we wonder.. What else is out there .. and what else is within..
