Good News For A Change! (Audio)

How many times have we heard the line, “Just into the news room…blah, blah, blah….blah….” and the newscasters shares the load of some breaking story. An accident, fire, robbery, murder or some other newsworthy mayhem. Never do we hear them share how someone just survived a doctor’s diagnosis, or a kitty was rescued from a tree, or someone put down their cell phone to focus on their driving responsibilities.

I’m just about done with the “Just in…” crowd of reporting… Except… Wait… I hear the newscasters mic warming up…Here we go! Reporting Live from Yelm, Washington!

  • Just in… The sun looks strangely red this morning. Don’t worry. It’s just the haze of the smoke particles in the air drifting on the wind from up north of us. The sun is reflecting through a lot of debris in the air… It’s normal. The world is not ending. Yet.
  • Just in… The chickens are out this morning and running and stretching legs and wings!
  • Just in… The dogs scared up another rabbit. Pray for the rabbit. Whoops… Rabbit wins!
  • Just in… 24 oz of coffee brewed. Starbucks Espresso blend. Waiting on the blog writing to get started…
  • Just in… The blog is in progress…

Just in… Just in… Just in…

It seems every moment can be crowded with the news. Good, bad, and ugly. It’s all depends on what we tune in to hear, and what we choose to follow. I’ve shared it before, but MSN has a Good News tab in their MSN News section. I check it out just about every day!

It’s time for some Good News!

Heres’ what I’m talking about….

I was listening to several scheduled webinars yesterday, just the thing I do to add knowledge and opportunity to my plate. We were introduced to a number of folks who had Good News to share about their success in life. That’s what I’m talking about! Show me that we can have a Good Report!

  • Someone told me about a scary visit to the doctor’s office and the doc said, “All’s fine!”  That’s Good News!
  • My bride shares with me some special news about a family that’s full of a Good Report! Here you go! Feast on it!
  • A bunch of special people posted some comments on my social media page that just warms the heart! Come on! Let’s spread Good News!

A friend used to produce a news article called “Fat Bones Report”… based on a scripture from Proverbs, and I believe the teachings from this book are important to our daily walk!

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat. (Proverbs 15:30 KJV)

Finally. And again I report there is a thought from Paul that tells us to think of the Good Things of Life.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8 KJV)

Now… I”ve written about this often. Click on this link for another report about what to do with the Good Things you Think On!
