It’s inspiring to see what can be accomplished when a community works together. For the past several days, countless citizens of Bismarck and Mandan have volunteered their time (and backs) to filling millions of sandbags in an effort to save homes and neighborhoods from the impending flood waters of the mighty Missouri. Only time will tell if our efforts are enough to overcome this summer hardship. More prayers and sandbags are needed, so please help if you are able!
Who doesn’t like a good epic story now and again? There’s just something about all that death-defying, derring-do that heroes go through to save the day that makes us want to be like them. As a kid I remember everyone wanting to be the hero. In fact many times, in order to avoid the arguments that were almost sure to follow, we’d allow more than one hero. Well, now it seems the world needs lots of heroes. With the recent tragedy in Haiti, there are more ways to help save the day. Please consider how you can help be a hero.
