What could possibly be good news after the Marathon Bombing in Boston and the Fertilizer Plant explosion in Texas this week? I wondered that myself as I painted in my studio. Then I heard this quote from "Mr. Rogers" (a children's television host and Presbyterian Pastor), "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say,"Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of 'disaster', I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helping - so many caring people in the world." It is always good news to remember that there are many more good people in our world that evil ones.
