Cooper Gundy

We had an interesting speaker at a meeting of mine at work today. He seems like he has had a very successful life. Something that stuck out most to me was that he was a linebacker for the Georgia Bulldogs back in the late 70's. Of course for any of you that know me and my Georgia Bulldog obsession that was a great treat! But he also quoted a line spoken from Minnie Pearl that rang in my head over and over. I found myself writing it down right in the middle of his speech. "Laughter is the Lords hand on the troubled world" I thought that was a very appropriate quote for the troubled times that we're going through right now. Every morning, every night, I turn on the news and hear another bad market report. I hear another number on the unemployment rate and how it's gone up. I hear another statement from another state saying they are out of money and can't even give their residence their tax refund....But it reminded me and I hope the rest of the crowd listening to him that there is always room for laughter. Laughter is a necessity. It helps remind us that there is a small light at the end of a very, very dark tunnel.
