Suicide

As each day goes by it seems like more and more people are taking their own life. If you are contemplating taking your life or know of someone who is contemplating it, let me explain a little something to you. Whether you think so or not someone does love you. If you disagree and/or don't believe me stop and think of all those in your life, whether that may be a good friend, family, co-worker,  or neighbor. Maybe I haven't named everyone but you get my point. Think what it would do to them if you were no longer around. Oh, I know you can't think straight, you are in pain, you think no one likes you or would miss you. You are wrong! Those of us who are left after such a tragedy NEVER will get over it. There are people out there who can help you. All you have to do is ask. Save your pride for another day. There is a greater way to find love, support, guidance and eternal life - that is, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Let me tell you, after Matthew died I didn't want to live either. A mother's love is so strong yet I could not help him. I didn't even know the heartache he was going through. But the Lord was always, and still is, by my side. He will never leave me. Ask Jesus into your heart as your personal Savior. He loves you and me and will never leave us. You will see, I am right.

A Busy Time

WE have just completed a week of tennis camp. We had a good group of kids and hopefully they had a fun time. We saw a lot of improvement throughout the week. I'm looking forward to next tennis season. Looks like there are a few good players coming up.

I just received a new book, "My Life For Your LIfe" from my friend and author Clarke Paris. His book is awesome, heartbreaking but a great tribute to some heros, my son Matthew included. Very touching stories of lost lives by their own hand. Both Clarke and I are out to stop this type of tragedy. We want to help people. One friend who also has a story about her son in Clarke's book really touched me. We have only met through Clarke and email. Her son and my son could have been brothers. Same interests, funny habits, etc.

I'm finally out of the dark that I usually find myself in during the month of June. I am very busy with my book hopefully with the final touches. I am so anxious to get it out and to hopefully save a life. But, it must be perfect before that happens.

May God Bless each and everyone of you. Be safe this summer and know that Jesus Loves you.
