It’s Friday and this is the start of probably a stressful weekend. I can’t even promise I’ll be posting on Saturday. You already know I don’t post on Sunday. But, I’m gonna fight through it.
One of those few quotes that make me think. I’ve got a couple of stories for ya.
First, a donation of blankets will keep some homeless people a little more warm this winter:
Thursday is here. Let’s celebrate!
And now for the news. Mmm…smell that? Smells like a good time! Or feet!
We made it to day 30. Already? Wow. Well, I’ll tell ya, it’s been pretty fun to do this so far. I wanted to look back at five of my favorite news since starting this series.
Yuuuup!
Here’s an important story. A bishop disguised himself as a homeless man. Nobody that he knew recognized him. Here’s why he did it:
Musselman is touched by his ward members’ actions, but he says it wasn’t his goal to embarrass or make them feel ashamed. Instead he wanted them to remember to be kind to people from all walks of life; not just at the holidays, but all year long.
Yes, he was trying to teach his church a lesson. And, when he walked in, there were some mixed reactions. Read the story to see some reactions. There’s one by the children I thought was interesting.
We have yet another batch of goodness. Instead of an image; I’m going to share a song. Mixing it up a little. This is a song that has been one of my favorite for years. It’s really helped me emotionally in a few cases too. Listen to it without tapping your feet. I DARE you.
I guess I’m all alone here? I’m the only one that likes this thing? Meh, well you came for good news anyway, right?
First, we have a bunch of good employees. A man left his wallet in the restaurant. It had $2,500 in it. That’s quite a bit of cash. Anyway, here’s what happened next:
The reason why I started this blog was because I got numb from all of the negative stuff I read and saw. I knew I had a problem when I shrugged at hearing about some shooting. It’s like “oh, this week’s shooting took place in…”. There’s no sting for me. And it was wearing me down, man.
Insert Daily Good News
It’s been really fun finding and posting various stories that I’ve shown you so far. Keep in mind that I was doing that with the Daily Good Stuff and even back when it was Good Friday posts. So, I’ve been doing this for a while now. However, this is the first time I’ve really focused on it. As in most things, when you first start, the new discoveries can be fascinating. But then, after a while, it can get old.
Part of it is human nature, I guess. We need constant stimulation. Something fresh.
Already, there were a couple of times whole researching for stories where I kinda zoned out. Like it was a chore. Yeah, we all have our days. Right now, I’m not close to being bored with it all. But, I know it can happen. It’s possible that hearing about a hero can cause me to shrug.
But, is that a bad thing?
