> "RACHAEL'S CHALLENGE" - SHE WAS KILLED IN THE COLUMBINE MASSICARE IN COLORADO. HER BIG IDEA WAS THAT IF PEOPLE WOULD DO ACTS OF KINDNESS THE WORLD WOULD BE MUCH BETTER. AFTER HER DEATH HER FAMIILY PICKED UP HER IDEA. FOR THE LAST YEAR CHANNEL 11 IN ATLANTA HAS BEEN PROMOTING THE ACTS OF KINDNESS THEME. PEOPLE ALL OVER HAVE MADE PAPER CHAINS AND EACH LINK REPRESENTS A ACT OF KINDNESS. THE CELEBRATION WAS TODAY--11/11/11 -- TO CELEBRATE VETERAN'S DAY. CHAINS FROM ALL OVER THE AREA WERE BROUGHT TO THE GEORGIA DOME-OVER TEN MILES OF CHAINS. "GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM"..AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING AMERICA IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN DUE TO FORSAKING OUR HERITAGE AND VALUES. WELL, YES, WE DO HAVE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES, BUT WHEN I SEE ACTS OF KINDNESS REPRESENTED IN PAPER CHAINS AND HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH DOING IT I AM CONFIDENT THE SOUL OF AMERICA IS HEALTHY. ACTS OF KINDNESS WILL IN THE END PREVAIL WHEN VIOLENCE AND HATRED AND FEAR HAVE DESTROYED THEMSELVES.
