The headline screams “Stock Market drops another 521 points.” Cities in Great Britain smolder from the fires set by raging thugs. France’s banks further exasperate the economic crisis in Europe. The national jobless rate hovers at 9.1 percent. Mississippi’s is over 10 percent. Thirty heroes die in Afghanistan. Our political leaders continue their childish bickering. The bad news continues to be crushing. The World has gone mad.
But there is was. Like a sparkling diamond in a pile of manure, it’s a headline that caught my eye — ‘Amazing’ therapy attacks leukemia.
Yes, the world is full of bad news. Especially when you focus on it. But there’s also good news out there. Seek it out. It can be found. When human T-cells can be trained to not only “see” cancer cells but destroy them, that’s good news. No, amazing news.
It’s a life raft of hope in an angry sea.
