Keep on truckin', human spirit!
While there are always tragic stories on the news, the headlines of yesterday and this morning resonate with some miraculous tales that exemplify not only human spirit, ingenuity, and creativity, but also the liklihood of a helping hand from heavenly sources:
-the incredible, safe evacuation of all passengers from the crashed Air France flight in Toronto
- the birth of a daughter to fallen National Institutes of Health scientist, Susan Torres
- the apparently successful repair to the space shuttle Discovery via spacewalk
All of these situations will require time and perhaps more intervention to ensure a truly positive outcome (so send a little prayer for the airbus crash vicitms, Torres' baby, and the shuttle astronauts), but they are examples to me that, well, miracles CAN and DO happen and that is a message I really needed to hear. Gee, maybe John Paul II was trying to tell me even more than I anticipated? *wink*
