Brave Little Girl

There are so many horrible reports in the news today about scary cops, frightened children, and poor parenting.  This situation took place in a nearby community and the story just made my heart smile!  The circumstances couldn't have turned out any better . . .

An Unexpected Happy Ending

So often, we are unaware of the lingering problems that persist following a storm.  In the immediate aftermath, we see the devastation, but for those who aren't personally affected, current articles are read and prayers are offered.  The headlines move to a new crisis in a matter of days.  Meanwhile, displaced people, displaced pets, injuries that linger, and the struggle to rebuild lives take place quietly outside of the headlines.

The link below just brought a smile as I read it.

Multi-Tasking . . . Multi-Talented

Not only is Gerald Davis an awesome storm spotter, he is quite the chef.  The "Frugal Gourmet" did not make the video connetion with "Cooking with Gerry," but we are so pleased to feature "Cooking With Gerry" in this edition of the Goshen Gazette.  His hard work this week-end is the feature story in the weather section of Goshen Gazette, but his Parmesan trout is the exclusive feature in "Delectably Kosher" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DLaW8FASI4&feature=youtu.be 

Praise

This young man lived what we read about in Acts 16:25-26.  And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto G-d: and the prisoners heard them.  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Since I Don't Believe in Coincidence

I usually try to find one of those "awe" videos or "Good Samaritan" reports in the news to share here, but this week, our very own contributors shared a special awakening moment that certainly carried a theme.

I was speaking with one of the contributors this week on the phone when she and I both shared the observation that Capitol Hill was not the answer, and we discussed what individuals could do to affect change.  It was at that time I shared with her the purchase of a round kitchen table, I'd made three years ago, specifically for a working ministry to gather.  We also discussed the fact that while America divides politically, both sides are indeed wings of the same bird, which is a part of the prophesied end of days agenda.

When we ended our conversation, I headed to the computer to do some work, when I hopped on social media for just a moment . . . To my amazement, another contributor had posted his own bitstrip commentary on the very subject we'd covered.

I know there are others hearing this same thing.  American politics are truly a distraction from finding solutions!  Soundness will not be coming from the Oval Office, but discovered 'round the kitchen table!

Timing

This is an amazing account of a life saved.  I love the emphasis the reporter places on timing as she wraps up the report.

Heartwarming

In school, whether I liked the teacher or not, math was always one of my favorite subjects, but I fell in love with this math teacher!
