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.
