(AgapePress) – Twentieth Century Fox gets a solid hit with its upcoming release of a light-hearted, yet inspiring, animated feature film about a 10-year-old boy named “Yankee” Irving who journeys from New York to Chicago in search of the great Babe Ruth. In Everyone’s Hero, Irving’s mission is to find Ruth and return his missing bat before the baseball season ends in disappointment for the New York Yankees.

Along the way, Irving is joined by Screwie, a talking baseball, and Darlin’, a talking bat. The ball and bat befriend Irving, but it’s their conflicting personalities that bring just the right amount of humor to the film as the trio works together to overcome obstacles in their path.

(AgapePress) – The mere mention of 9/11 instantly stirs up various emotions, passions, and mental images of that date, mostly described as “a day filled with tragedy.” But few consider it a day of miracles.

An upcoming TV special will document that more miracles took place on that day — September 11, 2001 — than on any date in history.

What this construction worker discovered buried in the rubble of the Twin Towers helped to restore people’s faith

by Frank Silecchia
Little Ferry, New Jersey

I’m an excavation laborer, and a member of union local 731. Pick-and-shovel work is my trade. I live in New Jersey, but I’m a New York City native, Brooklyn born and bred. After the Towers collapsed, my city was hurting. When I heard they needed guys like me for search-and-rescue work at Ground Zero, I couldn’t get there fast enough.
I’d seen the news coverage, but that didn’t prepare me for the reality. Down there it was like hell on earth. Fires burned out of control. Destroyed vehicles littered the streets. Everything was blanketed with dust; the air was filled with a choking stench. I soaked a bandanna with water before wrapping it around my head to cover my nose and mouth. I went to work wondering if I’d be able to get through this.

typesettingA Word…
A Careless word may kindle strife;
A Cruel word may wreck a life.
A Bitter word may hate instill;
A Brutal word may smite and kill.
A Gracious word may smooth the way;
A Joyous word may light the day.
A Timely word may lessen stress;
A Loving word may heal and bless.
