Sixteen Scrappy Spools



Bad news is easy to find because fear and anger are powerful motivators. It’s a little harder to gather good news, but it’s out there. For instance, have you heard giant pandas and manatees are no longer endangered? This year the Ocean Cleanup project will begin to remove oceanic plastic waste. China is eliminating their ivory trade and moving away from coal production. World hunger is at a 25-year low. There are half as many homeless US vets as there were a decade ago. The ice bucket challenge (remember that?) provided funds to identify a gene associated with ALS. Canada has developed an Ebola vaccine with a 100% success rate, and they’ve taken steps to preserve one of the world’s largest temperate rain forests. Measles is history in North, Central and South America. More than half of Israel’s water now comes from the sea, fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 35:1. See what I mean? Good news is out there.
