God’s Will

-

Cole Beasley is a wide receiver for the Bills. He’s a tough, little guy and a fan favorite.

He took some pain meds last year (his admission) and played the playoff game with a broken leg. 

Wasn’t against science then.

But he’s now against science. He was tweeting about God’s will and how science is getting too much credit.

He doesn’t want to get vaccinated and is upset that the player’s association doesn’t have his back.

Couple that with a story about the Catholic Church talking about not letting political leaders take communion if they’re not against abortion.

Not that they have HAD an abortion but because they aren’t AGAINST it.

Shutting people down for their thoughts.

Just seems hypocritical to me.

Both situations.

The wide receiver talking about God’s will and “when it’s your time, it’s your time” but when it came to getting back on the field science was okay - he’s had surgeries and treatments. Meds and science.

As for the church…

…come on now…

…they didn’t censure the previous politician who certainly appeared to have some wavering positions on abortion.

And being Christ-like.

It’s certainly a crazy time to be alive.

The world is opening back up and we aren’t keeping track of how many people are dying of Covid every day.

You know why?

Because of the people who were vaccinated!

I’ve heard the “Why should I get the shot, I’m healthy?” argument.

Beasley even went so far as to say:

“I have people in my family who are sick. They can come see me if they want. If they don’t they don’t.”

Showing that he doesn’t care about anyone else, I guess.

It’s his decision and God’s will.

But he better be careful in what he thinks about or the church might not let him take communion.

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
