my hero


I want to brag about Super Dave again! When we were flying home from the East Coast there was a Soldier at the airport ticket counter in front of us. It turns out the young man's bags were so many pounds over the limit, and the person behind the counter "helping" him wasn't, um, very helpful. We were doing what any travelers in line would do at this point (eavesdropping!) and it turns out the Soldier was going to have to make other arrangements and fly out the next day -- cutting his 21 days leave down to 20 with his family. And so Dave, my hero, walked over and paid the fee. Super Dave!

Hebrews 11, again and agan. Beating The Attitude poster boy!

And thanks for posting these stories. So often we hear the bad stuff in the media. But God has heros like DP all over the place. People need to hear that God is still alive and making a difference.

This brought tears to my eyes. I am sure that small gesture meant the world to that soldier!~Nana~
