Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.

This 8-year-old boy didn't know he was being filmed when he selflessly stopped to help an elderly woman struggling to walk up steps.

I noticed a car waiting for him when he was done. Shows some parental guidance, which is a very good thing too.

MDS built two houses locally for families who lost their homes due to 2017 spring flooding. The one family includes a mom and two young girls, approximately 6 and 9. The girls decided not to give or receive Christmas gifts; instead they were able to raise over $1,100 to donate to MDS.

The obscure work of MDS here in Maine resonates through the years, including when we insisted on building a house for a 90 year old man who lost his home in s flood. I have met a few people who know the story and who have been amazed at the “grace” of Mennonite and Amish laborers who come to a very remote place in Maine to help - asking nothing in return.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Not really a story, but it really brought a smile to my face.

Mine too! Incredible! It reminds me of my youth and the games we played but I have to say, these guys are experts. I think children today would benefit from less tv, video games and computers and more activities like this. They would develop better social skills to be sure.
