What??? Steve McNair Shot to Death?

In the words of Marvin Gaye ..."What's going on?". What is our creator trying to tell us? I'm not sure, but it is definitely a time where I find myself counting my blessings (3 times a day), and thanking God for the good and bad. This has been one of the most difficult and devastating months that I have ever experienced. First, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, then Steve McNair.

Arguably, Steve McNair was the best African-American quarterback ever, and the second highest drafted black quarterback ever. What a tragic month this has been, but this only confirms that yes, celebrities and athletes are indeed human and vulnerable to all dangers if not more.

We often get caught up in the lavish lifestyle and everything material that comes with being famous, but fail to realize the responsibilities and challenges that come with that lifestyle. Unfortunately, celebrities and athletes are targets, so it's imperative that we all remain humble and thankful. These are just my reflections regarding the events that have transpired these last couple of weeks, and It's been time for us to acknowledge the bad, but more importantly accept the good in all our lives.
