I apologize in advance for the vanity. After perusing the various news sites this morning, I can find very little good, inspirational, or optimistic news. I'm starving for such stories. So, I offer this thread for other members of FRee Republic to post links to "good news" stories for early August.
The regular news stories (from children being strangled by pythons in their sleep to Yemenese being offed by our unmanned drones and Americans being forced to flee the country in terror) is so darned depressing that I hunger for stories of kindness and hope. Let's see how long we can make this thread.
Just post a link (copy and paste the url -- you don't have to do anything else, thanks to John Robinson's software) and a few words to say what it is about. There! That's a good news story right there. We don't have to use HTML any more, unless we are trying to post something fancy. :)
Have at it.
I dunno, all the FR posts about home invaders getting shot cheer me up nicely.
FRiends and fans of Wisconsin, help me out. I need some good news today. Contribute a link to lift our spirits today.
I found this uplifting.

Save to check later.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him [i.e. for mutual love — HTRN] shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
NOW THIS IS GOOD NEWS!

OMG! What a WONDERFUL story. Your clip has made my day and given me strength to go do what has to be done! I’m sending this clip to my kids. Richie Parker is my hero! And so are his parents! His daddy is right abut one thing — Richie was just the cutest baby ever!
The ONLY GOOD NEWS I need: http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-1611-James-Version/dp/0310440297/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375803387&sr=8-1&keywords=king+james+bible+1611
A man who retired from our company spends his time doing this for his church’s cemetary. They’ve got the straightest tombstones in the state. Great story!
That’s a lovely salute to a lovely man, but bittersweet because he is no longer wit us. Thanks for sharing.
They might even run into former Gov. Sanford out there! ;^) Nice story.
Your photos are lovely. I particularly like the one with the raindrops on the autumn leaves.
West Marin County? Is that in CA? Western Marin Co. in CA is the Pacific Ocean!
The Bible is always a place to find Good News.
Always good news!
