Today I want to share with you some sources of resistance and hope on the part of Americans.
Christian Century has a feature every month called “Century
Marks,” in which they cull short stories from many sources into two pages. In this
month’s magazine, there are included the following: (Unfortunately, this is
subscriber only content not on the web.)
From the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, April 8: “44 shoppers at Krogers stores in Atlanta
and 29 Winn-Dixie stores in New Orleans had their purchases paid for them
during senior hour one Wednesday” by Tyler Perry. One man, upon learning this,
donated the purchase price to the local food bank.
From CNN,
April 10: “An anonymous donor gave all 549 households in Earlham, Iowa,
three $50 gift cards toward food.” He wanted to inject money into the economy.
This, by the way, is what the federal government should be doing…
From Mashable,
April 2: “Actor John Krasinski started the Twitter hashtag #SomeGoodNews
and a YouTube channel by the same name.” Go check it out when you need some
hope and uplifting.
Finally, this morning I was reminded of DailyKos Good News Roundup.
Check them out as well.
People are out there helping others and resisting the crap
that the government is throwing at us. There is hope!
Let’s all do what we can to contribute.
