Steve McNair

There has been a lot of news in the past few weeks surrounding Steve McNair in the Nashville area and each time I hear it I feel the pain of His Tragic Death again.  I'm re posting a Journal entry I wrote during that time in hopes that maybe, just maybe it will help us to keep striving to take the two sides of our lives and merge them as much as possible into one life worthy of the Gift Of Life we've all been given...................

I just got back from paying my respects to Steve McNair.  Yes an Icon, a Football Hero, a Humanitarian, a Husband and Father, a Life Praised, Honored and Respected by so many.  A Man who was known for His Toughness on the Football Field and for His Heart of Gold when it came to Charities, Helping Young People and being a Role Model in the City of Nashville.  But sadly as so many of us, there were Two Sides to this Well Respected Man.  The other side was a Life where He Battled His Demons, Fought His Humanness and eventually gave in to the Desires that became His Demise.  In loosing sight of His Morality, He lost His Mortality.  Sadly He played with the Fire that would ultimately Burn Him.  This was the side that He would have preferred not to have the world know about but a side that came out in His Death and such a Tragic Death at the Hands of a Girl, So Young, So Distressed and Fighting Her Own Demons as well.


His Death has really touched me and saddened me Deeply.  It also showed how Important it is to Live Our Lives To The Highest Standard.  To Respect Ourselves First, To Respect Our Husbands, Wives and Families, Our Friends and Those Who Look Up To Us For Guidance and to Respect God and His Guidance and Leadership In Our Lives.

Yes....We All have our Demons, Our Battles between Right and Wrong.  I hope we can remember how fragile life can be and Truly Give It Our All and Make Every Moment Count.  And with the Tragic Death of Steve McNair as a Reminder, Keep Our Eyes Looking Up To A Higher Purpose, a Higher Power, a Higer Sense of Morality and Not Let This World pull us down and Take This Preciious Gift Of Life Away From Us.
