If you find
reading or watching the news leaves you angry, discouraged or frightened, you’re
not alone. It’s actually consciously designed that way. There’s tremendous
power to be had in making people angry, discouraged and frightened. I have to
work a little harder to find good news, but it’s out there. Last October I
shared a story about Wayne Winters, a Far West, Utah man who wore a sandwich board
to try and get his wife a new kidney. The front said, “Need Kidney 4 Wife” with
his phone number, and the back said, “1,000 kidneys needed in Utah/Idaho.” Lots
of other people shared his story, too, and his phone started ringing off the
hook – 700 to 800 calls from people offering to help. In November his wife
received a kidney transplant. But Wayne isn’t ready to put away his sandwich
board just yet: “We could start a kidney revolution, and that would be so
great."
