Terrific Tuesday! Okay, on to the post.
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. Soren Kierkegaard
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
Yeah, I’ve done this.
Another week of news in the books. Let’s get it on, buddy.
If you see someone without a helmet, it doesn’t mean they don’t have a helmet. Introducing “Invisible Bike Helmets” which are just mini helmets. The catch? They act as air bags. There’s a video.
A Nevada man and an Iranian are teaming up:
Now, the two are planning to reunite next month to ride their bikes across Iran in a symbolic gesture of peace.
Their project, Wheels of Peace, will begin with each of them visiting schools in his respective country and sharing his experiences of finding friendship with someone who might otherwise be considered an enemy.
The children will be asked to write letters to students in the other country.
Most of the news this past week were more on the good side. And that’s weird. Time to start looking for more sources.
A hotel helped a woman recover a valuable ring that her late grandmother gave to her. Yay.
A student who struggles with stammering made a nice speech thanks to a special “Hollywood” remedy. His stammering was so bad, that just by him being able to make a speech actually brought people to tears, including folks who bullied him. The link has a video of it all unfolding.
It’s Friday and today is going to be a good day. Thursday marked the fourth day in a row that DALANEL set a viewing record. I said I would wait for a week before I take this as the new normal. Thanks for the views and I hope you truly enjoy the experience.
Ah, it’s been a while since I posted any news since I haven’t done DGS all week. So, here we go with this week’s past news.
We got a bunch of veterans being treated like the heroes they are.
A group of Marines on their way home from Afghanistan got something they didn’t expect after spending five days getting on and off planes on their way to San Diego: cheers from a crowd of police officers, a fire truck water salute and first-class plane tickets.
There’s more about those plane tickets in the link.
Starbucks is doing things for veterans as well. Or at least, it’s planning to.
Because Starbucks values the skills and talents of men and women in the U.S. military, it has announced a strategic plan to hire at least 10,000 veterans and active-duty spouses over the next five years.
We always see and hear about how hard it is coming back after service and living a normal life. Good for Starbucks for doing this. And, in such a short period of time. See what else they plan on doing.
