When he's out there with the younger kids it's something wonderful to see. This young man is giving the others something positive to do while learning something positive in the process. The good kids like this far outnumber the trouble makers. I want to see young men and women like my neighbor on the front page of the newspaper doing good for their neighborhood and get the recognition they so rightly deserve.
AMEN! I'm so tired of society giving attention to the dregs of society. There have always been more good in the world than bad. Let's keep focused on the positive stories. And let's bring attention to the good. When you see it, acknowledge it. When you read it, forward or post it. When you do it, toot your own horn!
