Pennsylvania Amish Children Arrive at New School House | |
Amish children carrying lunch pails arrived at a new one-room schoolhouse Monday morning, marking a fresh beginning for students who survived a shooting that killed five classmates last fall.
The New Hope Amish School sits a few hundred yards from the spot where the killings took place. Built by the entire community, the school is protected by more sophisticated locks on its doors and is reachable only by a private drive.
Soldiers Strive to make Iraqi Village Safe
On March 25, three improvised explosive devices went off here. Soldiers from Company E, 2nd “Lancer” Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment entered the village in an attempt to find the assailants.
“We know if we can continue getting information from anyone who can help us clean out insurgents here and find weapons caches, we’re making this a safer place down the line for the [citizens of the community],” said Staff Sgt. William Stone, a squad leader from the regiment. “All the people here say the same thing, they want our help, they want safety and they want the insurgents to go away.”
Stress Relief . . . God's Way
"In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6 ASV)
Anxiety, worry, stress... In today's world we know these terms well. Doctors are constantly warning us about the health effects of stress. Cause for worry? For some it is. Turning on the news for only five minutes is enough to make us anxious about what tomorrow may hold. Climate change, nuclear arms, terrorism and war are the headlines of the day.

Many thanks to Good News Now for today's good news - go see . . . no bad news
For the next few days, I am going to let good news, humor, etc., dominate my journal. I just want to hear or read the good stuff? How about you? Are you fed up with the ugliness of radio, television, magazines and newspaper news? Let them know. I know I will.
Many blessings to you all,

Easter is always good news to those who are willing to hear, it's news that needs sharing.
Have a blessed Easter.

Absolutely, Penny... I don't even subscribe to the newspaper anymore, and I seldom watch the news.... but then I think to myself, "I'm a teacher! I need to know what's going on in the world so when kids bring up subjects they've heard about on TV, I better know something about it." In this department, I have been negligent. While striving to shelter myself from the bad news, I've also denied myself the good news. Most of the news I get now is from what I hear at school from those who do listen to the news, and from what I see and hear on the internet. When I hear bad news, I wonder what I could do, how I could get involved to change things to make them better, while simultaneously saying "I can't do anything because I'm too far away, or I'm nearly burned out from the work that I actually do." So what is a person supposed to do? I want to hear good news, I want to be inspired into taking positive action in my own little corner of the world. If it is true that the whisper of a butterfly's wings is felt around the world, then perhaps what I do every day is somehow making a positive influence in someone's life, if not in the immediate moment, then maybe at some future point in time. I have to believe this is so, otherwise, for what am I burning myself up for? Yes, Penny, bring on the good news! What better time to start than with the coming remembrance of Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday morning. Bea
I like your good news. I want more good news. I'm going to get more good news. By hook or by crook!
