Despite doom and gloom about our troubled economy, good things are happening in America and in our communities. People young and old are trying to help those who need a hand.
Just this week, several efforts have come to my attention. I’m glad to see folks caring and giving, often to people they don’t even know. I think this says a lot about about being our brothers’ keepers. If we can put aside the hating and the blaming, we can find lots of good to go around.

Diane McLamb, 44, was a first-responder to Hayssam “Ali” Agharaad, who was waving for help because his van was on fire and he could not walk. His wheelchair inside was not accessible. So she pulled him from the driver’s seat, placed him on the ground, then left quickly. Three other people carried Agharaad farther away from the van before it burst into flames.

Kite-flying has become sort of a metaphor for my life, as God allows me the freedom to soar. All the while, He is holding my string and guiding my kite. Is He holding yours? |

Remember the saying “What you see is what you get?” The words came to mind today as I thought about last weekend’s snowfall.
