It doesn't seem to be the same


I thought a lot about this Memorial Day. It seems different than other ones. People just don't seem to care. Notice the lack of comments on our Memorial Day Post. There used to be a lot more. People who wanted to pay tribute to the men and woman who put their lives on the line to protect and defend us. Most of the blogs I follow didn't have a Memorial Day post or just a cursory one. People just don't give a shit. They are all tied up with this bullshit virus.

President Trump went with his wife to lay a wreath. He at least showed some respect. He later played some golf and the press made a big deal out of it as usual. I think we have to rethink our priorities.

I know I have.

What came up for you when you thought a lot about this Memorial day?

Who but God knows anything about "people" is a great mystery. Some write like they do, act, sing, create art, do things impressive... but don't care about God or Memorial Day.

I bet you Father Martin Fox cares about Memorial Day in America. He didn't write about it though.

Maybe that is for the best, for his flock and him.

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seein' things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his
It sure ain't no surprise

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin dim
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge (everybody, everybody)

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again and again and again and again and again

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again and again and again and again and again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I'd would rather be a hanging on

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge (everybody, everybody)

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep in mind, a lot of people are still on shaky ground financially.

Home and kids come first.
