Bureau stories inspiring

Sat., Dec. 24, 2011

So many loving and inspiring stories in the Good Paper recently, even beyond the Christmas Bureau accounts!

I rejoiced to read: “Restoring identity,” “Continuing mission” and “Hunger meets match.” And very lately, “Healthy helpings” (area schools eliminating junk foods) and “Facing His Demons” (Craig Blanchette’s courageous story of conquering his addiction).

They serve to assure us of the many beautiful and kind happenings everywhere, which balance off the horrors and insanity happening on the national and global scene.

Thank you! Keep ’em coming!
