Something to consider if you love animals

Jen — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 19:12:35 +0000

Oooh THIS is awesome! I would totally love to help out like this someday. (I have a special place in my heart for shelter pets.) All animal-loving photographers out there should seriously consider something like this… a little help goes a long way, my friends. Anything to help get these pets out of shelters and into loving homes is worth it. Check out the website Second Chance Photos for some great tips and advice on how to go about photographing shelter animals to increase their chances of being adopted.

Bullies beware!

This article is totally awesome! I’m so glad to see people standing up for people who are bullied. I personally loathe bullies, and I think that we as Americans have become way too complacent when it comes to bullying. Kudos to this photographer. The world needs more people like her! Imagine if we ALL took a stand when we saw someone being bullied…

Elementary schools taking away children’s recess?? That just ain’t right, y’all. What are these people thinking?

Praying…

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved-ones of the thirty troops killed in Afghanistan when their chopper was shot down. The video near the bottom of the page is especially touching.

A new beginning for the victim of a chimp attack

I guess by now most of us have heard the horrifying story about the lady who lost her face in a chimp attack. (I heard the story on Oprah.) Well, guess what? The victim, Charla Nash, has received a face transplant! The transplant seems to have taken hold and it looks like she will be able to smell and eat again, thanks to a dedicated team of doctors who worked on her for about twenty hours.

In addition to my last post about the little boy drowning and then coming back to life, I also found this amazing account of the incident. Some of you guys might find the photos disturbing, but just remember that the little boy lived. What a beautiful miracle! Please keep him and his family in your prayers as he continues his recovery.

Something needs to be done

Wow. Something really needs to be done about America’s prescription drug problem. Too many lives are being destroyed unnecessarily. I don’t know what the right answer is… but there’s got to be something that can be done. At this point, shouldn’t we be willing to try anything if it can stop this madness?
