It's easy to get discouraged when there is so much confusion, bad things, and straight chaos going on in the world, however...there is still a lot of good going on in the world too. We just don't see or hear about it as much because the news is mostly talking about what I mentioned earlier. Hopefully smiles, tears, and hope can be brought to those you read this blog.

Reminder of Marine Kyle Carpenter...what he's doing now...
From the IJReview...
"In 2010, then 21-year-old Lance Cpl. William Kyle Carpenter deliberately threw himself onto a grenade in Afghanistan to save his friend Lance Cpl. Nicholas Eufrazio.
Carpenter’s right arm was broken in 30 places and he suffered
extensive shrapnel injuries to his face and body — including the loss of
his right eye.
His friend Nicholas was also severely wounded and is still recovering in a military hospital in Massachusetts.
But Nicholas is alive. Alive because of his heroic friend, who took the full force of the grenade on his torso and face.
The medically-retired Marine will receive the nation’s highest military honor — the Medal of Honor — in a White House presentation later this year.
As for William Kyle Carpenter, he has something special for those who follow Operation Kyle: a demonstration that he’s still got the guts and determination to knock out some pull-ups at the gym. That’s truly awesome. "
