Careful- Downer Blog Ahead

Well, in case you aren't one to keep up with the daily news, or a sports fan, then you may not be aware of a tragic loss suffered by the Redskins this morning. Sean Taylor, #21, died after suffering a fatal shot wound to the femoral artery during a home invasion. This was a senseless and horrible incident, not only effecting the NFL community, but the fans as well.

My brother told me of the news yesterday, after the surgery had been completed and they were waiting to see what the next step would be. It's not just that this man was famous in his community, as well as nationally, it's that he was a young man trying to straighten his life to become a respectable father to his 18 month old daughter.

I just finished reading yet another article about the missing pregnant mother of 2, Stacy Peterson, from Bolingbrook, Il, which is about 20 minutes from my home.

Pathetic.

I am not a huge advocate of divorce, but come on...killing your spouse????? Absolutely sick. Especially in this case, where he killed his THIRD wife too! How did it go on past that?

Sorry for this depressing entry- I am just so overcome by how sick and twisted this world we live in can be...
