Here's A Start

So....
Well, here goes nothing. I've blogged in the past but I've decided it's time to get back to it. This blog's title really explains everything. Be prepped to see multiple posts daily sometimes and none of them be related sometimes. I'll talk about cool hole in the wall places to eat and drink I find, good BBQ, sports, my thoughts on topics of the day, and whatever else I feel like. I hope you enjoy. 

Today is a very thought provoking day. I'm sitting at a coffee shop here in Tulsa waiting on my wife to get off so we can attend a funeral. This gentleman was a classmate of my wife and took his own life on Christmas Day. The description that my wife gave me showed nothing that would make him want to end his life except that he was diagnosed with PTSD. A child and a stepson, a lovely wife, and from what his Facebook profile showed, lots of folks who cared about him. 
I always wonder in these cases, "how did we miss this?" It could be that he really kept these feelings to himself, a thought that a good friend of mine mentioned. I can't help but wonder, why? I contemplate with God that question and I've drawn the conclusion that we may never know. It does make me realize that we should strive to love each other. I'm not a shining example of my faith, but I am trying to do better. 
I just hope that situation makes all who were affected think and realize that our lives are about relationships and doing what we can to foster them.
