Good morning,
Unfortunately not for some, over the weekend a tragic car crash claimed the lives of five young men from our hometown. This has hurt the community greatly as these boys were Wrestlers and athletes and very popular! Our family personally crossed paths with two of the boys on the wrestling circuit. As investigators are still looking into the exact cause, it appears alcohol and high speed have played a part in what was an horrific crash. The car (2008 BMW M5 sedan which belonged to one of the boys fathers, was traveling north on the 1.5 airstrip that actor John Travolta and others regularly use to fly in and out of Ocala.
One of the boys was celebrating his 19 birthday; witnesses say they were coming from a party where alcohol was served. It is still unclear how the young men got onto the airstrip which is on private property. Nothing has not been determined yet as there in an ongoing investigation. My heart and prayers go out to all the families!
This is exactly the kind of situation that making a wrong choice, paid the ultimate price, they lost their lives! Hopefully others will learn from their mistake and make better choices. Each and everyone of us, will face a choice, that can cost dearly. Use common sense and wisdom and lean not on your own understanding and trust in God.
God Bless,
Chatterbox

Sad to say the choices we make in life will greatfully affect us in the future. I hope one can learn from others mistakes. I know its hard being a parent. There is so much toxic in todays world, that effects our kids everyday. We as parents need to be more aware of our parenting skills. We are the ones who need to make our children's choices. Sure, we wish our children could make the right ones to begin with. They're children, not adults. Keyword children. We make their choices for them. Oh well, if they don't like it. They'll thank you for it later. A child should not be driving a $80,000.00 vechile. What ever happened to a used car. Okay, even if its new. A Chevy or Ford basic model. Not some high class fancy vechile. Parents need to just be aware of where your children are at. Talk to them, they will listen. Ask them questions. They will answer. Teach them about choices they will need to make in life, and how one choice can effect them for the rest of their lives. Don't stop either. I tell grown adults the same thing all the time. There is a cause. Where theres is a cause, there is a effect. Open your eyes, see whats around. Look at whos looking at you. Don't just sit there. Do something, something to make a difference. Talk to your children.
