Remember when Blake Shelton saved some good ol' country teen boys from the muddy pickle they and their truck were stuck in?   Sir, out neighborly-like "rescuing strangers from dangerous" situations when you come across 'em, is what we call being a good cowpoke.      news

Tracy Morgan told Complex magazine he talked to God, and God talked to him, after his 2014 accident, where he nearly lost his life.  "You're never going to be normal after you go through something like that," said Morgan.  He is back to work now, healthy, up and at it.  And talking to God?  Never a bad idea.    story

I don't know what to be:  Thrilled by the volunteers cleaning out the L.A. River, or disgusted by the truck loads of trash and filth pulled from the L.A. River.  You wouldn't believe what I've seen.  The clean-up sponsored by the Friends of the L.A. River is scheduled "over three consecutive Saturdays in the month of April."   Some are mess makers.  Some are mess cleaner uppers.    news

SAINT TERESA

Mother Teresa whose life was dedicated to helping the poor in the slums of India, is on the road to be a saint.  "She will likely be canonized in September to coincide with the 19th anniversary of her death. . . .  She was beatified in 2003 as Blessed Teresa of Calcutta," but it takes two miracles to become a saint.  Record of those exist in the form of her healing the sick.  And don't forget the Nobel Peace Prize she was awarded in 1979.       news           

Principle in the type:  "Each of us, in the journey through mortality, will travel his own Jericho Road [as the Good Samaritan did].  What will be your experience?  What will be mine?  Will I fail to notice him who has fallen among thieves and requires my help?  Will you?  Will I be one who sees the injured and hears his plea, yet cross to the other side?  Will you?  Or will I be one who sees, who hears, who pauses, and who helps?  Will you?"                Thomas S. Monson
