Good News for February 28, 2009 (posted by Mary Beth)
Small waterfall -- Big beauty
Recent rains have strengthened creeks and streams in our area. This little waterfall is just a few feet wide, but it is an evidence of God's touch and is a big beauty along a back road. - Photo by Mary Beth Magee (all rights reserved)
Sharing the Joy of Worship - a Devotion
"One of the hardest parts of relocating is (for me, at least) finding a new church home. Whenever I am out of fellowship, I feel hungry. My soul misses the nourishment of sharing worship and companionship with other believers. No matter how many wonderful inspirational books I read or gospel albums I listen to, nothing replaces the joy of being with others who share my faith."

Broadcaster Paul Harvey dead at 90
"Broadcasting legend Paul Harvey has died at age 90. ABC Radio Networks spokesman Louis Adams said Harvey died today in a Phoenix hospital, near his winter home, surrounded by family members."
The rest of the story awaits you here.
I confess: I don't like these bands ...
"We all have those moments when talk turns to seminal artists. 'Hey, what do you think of Bruce Springsteen's new one?' or 'I don't know, man. I kind of like Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' better than 'Court and Spark.' '
How mortifying, then, when you have to confess: I don't like those icons. You know you're supposed to - judging from the mouths gaping in disbelief - but you simply don't."
Get the lowdown on how the music critics of the Boston Globe really feel here.
She turns cameras on American hunger
"An office party goes on without her, across town in an affluent world vastly different from the one where Mariana Chilton now finds herself. Her husband's tried calling. Twice.
And still she sits in dress slacks and stocking feet, gray suede shoes tossed aside, on the drab carpet of a row house in the Philadelphia projects, playing with someone else's children while her own three kids wait for Mom to come home."

Health and Beauty
Health and Beauty at Good News Now is a sort of “catch all” category. Today’s catch was just that sort of all over the place kind of day.
The first story is about a cat at a nursing home that has the sense of knowing when a patient is going to die and the sense of duty to comfort the person with its presence. The staff began to notice this activity and have documented it 25 times. The cat will come into a patience's room and stay and within 4 hours the patient passes away. The staff puts a positive spins on it for the cat allows them to accurately notify the family of the upcoming event.
Cat with a knack
Story number 2 is fashion news about trendy new grocery bags made from cloth that are reusable and thus if we indulge this fashion madness will save the planet from those plastic bags we hate and are not very biodegradable. What were they thinking when all the grocery stores switched to them. Dare I say it, I liked paper sacks. I always reused them in all sorts of ways, not just as bags. I have, I am not making this up, used paper bags to cut patterns to make cloth bags like the above mentioned bags that I should make again and sell now that they are wildly fashionable.
Saving the planet (One trendy bag at a time)
This story is a positive spin on the new research that says if you hang around overweight people you gain weight. It talks about women who have lost weight and the effect on those around them. This phenomenon works the same way for weight loss. I held out on posting that story until I found this positive spin because that is what Good News Now is all about.
