Chris & Michelle In The Morning

We knew that living in the White House meant some adjustments were going to have to be made for the Obama kids and the White House itself.

Well, the biggest add is a swingset on the White House lawn!  Melia and Sasha were surprised yesterday when they came home from school and saw the huge wooden swingset on the lawn.  And, the best news, Dad can watch them play from his office!  The swingset is viewable from the Oval Office so that President Obama can try to still be a part of his kids lives!

A dad that is trying to balance running the country with being a dad!  Now THAT is some good news!

Only Good News to be Reported by Local Evening Newspaper

For the second time in three years, local evening newspaper, the Edinburgh Evening News, is to devote one of its editions solely to the reporting of ‘good news’.

Today’s edition of the paper has been billed Good News Day, and is to comprise only ” the positive aspects of life”.

Says editor, John McLellan: “The first Good News Day was a great success, but that was back in June 2007 when everything was still rosy. Now that times are tough I think people will appreciate a Good News Day even more.

“With the banks in free-fall, the pound plunging, house prices falling, jobs being slashed and angry unions taking it out on foreign workers, there is no shortage of bad news. And while no-one wants to put their head in the sand I do think that we all need to rediscover some sense of optimism and for just one day we’re guaranteeing to bring Evening News readers nothing but good news.

“No-one can accuse the Evening News of shying away from bad news, far from it, but if we can help cheer people up in these worrying times then it will have been worth it.”

Good News! It’s amazing what happens when young people are given leadership roles. We just finished a series of meetings at Gem State Academy where young people stood up and shared the Gospel of Christ everynight for 3 weeks. Many people from the community renewed their committment of following Jesus and some accepted Him for the 1st time. Praise God for young people who love Him!

One of our KTSY family members called in and said Guy Fieri is in town!  He is one of the Food Network stars and hosts Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.  Guy travels all around the US and visits various restaurants that specialize in home cookin’.  He visited a Basque place in Boise and will be traveling to 6 other restaurants in Boise.  The best part is that they may be featured on the Food Network!  Our little Boise!!!  How cool is that?  If you find out where else he’s going, let us know!

That was fun news!  Thanks for the call!
