We Sure Could Use A Little Good News Today
Yesterday was a typical Saturday. Wake up around 8:00 A.M. Shower. Walk the dogs. Retrieve the newspaper from the driveway. Make a pot of coffee. Eat breakfast. Settle down to read the newspaper.
And guess what? The news was the same. Nothing had changed since last Saturday. It reminded me of Anne Murray's song ... "A Little Good News".
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber bandHere's what I found on the front page of the Dallas Morning News for October 11, and I am not making any of this up:
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", becauseNobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today
