Looking back at 2006..part 2

Some of the good thing... good people...

Mississippi, no not the ones you saw
on the TV who bragged. But the people
who were down in the gullys of filthy water
and snakes and God only knows what..
Who carried babies to safety. The Drs. who
stuck it out... The workers who
are down there building homes without
all the glory that the media talks about.
The quiet ones, that only their
friends and family and others with them,
know what they have done to give hope to
those who lost so much.

For all the volunteers across the country
who not only make Christmas and Thanksgiving
each year for those less fortunate. But don't
just stop there, and work it around the whole
year. With little thanks. Just the smiles on
the faces and the hugs they sometimes get..
which the volunteer will tell you, is enough
thanks. As they give hope to all.

For Kroc Center, in Kootenai County,
when open will give hope to those who
need a place and an education, and a
second chance.

For Shasta, who came home safe. And
hopefully will be able to survive the demon's
of the mind. And with the help of her Dad and
family, will have hope be able to live as close to
a normal life.

The Grace Haven that has come to light,
after hard work from many women and some
men in Bonner County. To give hope to women
and children.

And for tomorrow??? that is the hard one.
The hopes we have...
