alright
I don’t know if you have been keeping up with the news lately but if you have you may have seen what’s going on in Nashville. I’ll admit I am not normally up on current events but had followed a link from my friend Dave “the Iron Tamer” Whitley’s facebook page going to his blog and saw that his home town is basically under water.

Now I just got off the phone with big Dave and he told me that the pictures don’t even do it justice and most people have no idea just how bad it really is. One of the rivers rose up 60ft. Think about that a second…60ft. A lot of people have basically lost everything. I want you to picture everything in your life that you hold dear, your family, your house, your possessions…now imagine it all gone… just washed away in the blink of an eye.

Terrible right?

Now hopefully that didn’t happen to you, I just wanted to illustrate just how hard its going for the people down there. One of the things I have noticed is that it takes a disaster like this to show what people are really made of. The folks of Nashville have pulled together as a team just like New York did during 9/11 but they need our help. The death toll is rising, temporary shelters are at capacity, missing people are unaccounted for, many homes are under water, there is a water conservation emergency, much of Nashville’s economic base is threatened by flood damage. You can text ‘REDCROSS’ to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief. I don’t ask you for much and I know that if you have been listening to anything I preach I have saved you at least $10 by preventing you from buying bullshit like the shake weight. Take that $10 and give it to someone that really needs it in Nashville. You can text ‘REDCROSS’ to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief and you’ll know what you are made of.
