"This painting is dear to the artist’s heart.

Here's this week's uplifting story. ENJOY!

"American humanitarian Greg Mortenson's first book — THREE CUPS OF TEA — has sold over 3.5 million copies around the world. It tells the remarkable story about his efforts to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. When in 2008 the JOURNAL asked viewers what books should be priority reading for the next President, THREE CUPS OF TEA was among the top ten suggestions. Now, the book has become required reading for our senior military commanders and Special Forces in Afghanistan."

As the news media continues to show us devastating pictures of the crises in Haiti we can find comfort in knowing that the world as a whole is responding to the need. The people of Haiti are not alone. Help is present and more is on the way.
