Then, just last weekend, USA Today highlighted responses by individuals and churches in Joplin who are responding to the recent tornado devastation in their area. I couldn’t help but want to cheer, “Yes, that’s it!”…

This past week, over 8,000 doctors in Morocco participated in a peaceful sit-in for support of democracy.
