Crazy World

"We live in a crazy world. Lots of times it's good crazy. Times like this, bad crazy." - Will Hicks

If you know my #2 boy, you know he's a pretty still piece of water, that runs dangerously deep. In the midst of the chaos of this week's bombings in Boston, this was his take on the whole thing.

I'm glad we got the chance last night to see a little bit of the good crazy in the very middle of the bad crazy, and I'm thankful for a son who recognizes them both.

Trouble Everywhere

It seems as if there is trouble everywhere.

Two dear friends are battling cancer and all the craziness that hides in that. Another high school friend has a young adult daughter who is in the middle of an heroin addiction. Yet another friend's husband broke his leg above his knee and will be basically immobile for the next 3 to 4 months.

The frustrating part for those involved is there is nothing to do to actually fix it. No money, no home remedy, no power or influence can stop their journeys.

At the end of the day, there is only love. The cool thing is that's all we really need in the first place.
