Hello everyone
Good evening all !!!! How is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. I have had a nice weekend at the house. I was off of work on Friday because I had a personal day so I had to take a day off of work.
I do want to give a little notice to a dear friend Jeannette that I haven't mentioned in a while and I want to give her a little bit of the spot light to. Here is her link to her journal that I think you should check out and say hello to her while you are there. Here is her link -----> http://outsidelookingin-jeannette.blogspot.com/ . You might also notice a little special birthday announcement for a young man named Nathan that you might want to say "Happy Birthday" to. Do pop over and say hello to my dear friend Jeannette and her family. Thank you.
Anywho.....I was thinking I didn't want to talk about certain events but since its all over the news and on the internet I thought that I would go ahead and talk about the news. As everyone might know the actress Farrah Fawcett died of Cancer at the age of 62. The other news is that the singer Michael Jackson also died recently. I do want to offer my condolences to the family and friends of both Farrah and Michael after such loss.
My thing is there has been other news that no one is really talking about such as the train wreck which occured in Washington, D.C. recently. Jeanice McMillan was one of nine people killed when her train under automatic computer control apparently failed to register a signal and avoid a collision with a train that had stopped near a curve between two stations. The head of Washington's mass transit system praised Jeanice as a hero as the driver when her train struck another that was parked on the tracks.
In other sad news a 7-year-old boy was severely beaten by his dad on Father's day in Worcester, Massachusetts. Nathaniel was declared brain dead Tuesday after his father Leslie Schuler allegedly slammed Nathaniel's head against a wall so hard that it left a dent in the wall at Schuler's home in Massachusetts.
Schuler and his live-in girlfriend are being charged with assault, but authorities said that they are conducting a murder investigation. Results of an autopsy performed Saturday morning are expected in a few weeks.
Nathaniel lived most of his life with his maternal grandmother in Eufala, Ala. but had been living with his father since Memorial Day. I do hope that the father of Nathaniel is locked up behind bars for the rest of his life for what he did to Nathaniel.
It is sad to think what a father could do to his son. I am saddened by such news as this. I do hope that Nathaniel's father is given the proper punishment for what he did to Nathaniel. It is such to think that such violence could be inflicted upon such a young boy as Nathaniel.
Why is it that the world has continue to focus on the death of Michael Jackson and on Farrah Fawcett when such news as a young boy is killed by his father and why is it that the train wreck in Washington D.C. is not the head lines on the news ??? Why is it ???
What do you think dear world ? Am I wrong ????

No Monae, I think you are roght to be more concerned with these other matters. It is the same over here. We have had wall to wall news about the death of "Jacko"with scenes of grief everywhere. And that is from people who didn;t even know him as a real peson only as the idol they had made him..and you know what our Lord said about worshipping idols...It seems to bethe way of our poor old world these days.
You look after yourself. Mary and I are away today for a few days. and looking forward to some nice weather.
Love Sybil xx
