I’m going to learn to ‘Whoop’ – I think it will bring a whole new element to New Passion 🙂
What about you…Can you Whoop?

Watch All 33 Chilean Miners Rescued One By One
Yesterday was an amazing, miraculous moment as 33 Chilean Miners were rescued after being trapped for 69 days. All 33 miners were rescued alive. Watch this CNN video with a snapshot of each miner being pulled from the mine and greeted by family and loved ones. A report this morning said this was the biggest streamed news event in history…
Anderson Cooper is My Hero
I’ve always enjoyed Anderson Cooper’s reporting. I don’t particularly like CNN as a network, but Anderson Cooper always seems to shine in the midst of the toughest turmoil and crisis. I hate that much of his recognition is rooted in situations like the horrific earthquake in Haiti, or in Katrina. Today, in Haiti, looters were attacking each other for their stolen goods. Anderson Cooper was at the scene shooting video, when a young boy was apparently struck in the head with something. This video is graphic, so if you cannot handle a lot of blood, do not watch. It is impressive how Anderson drops his camera in the midst of a sea of looters to care for the wounded, bloody boy, and to carry him to safety. That is a true Hero, and you don’t see that from reporters (typically). They are usually more interested in the story, not the people:

Hero
This is video of, Jasper Sheranga (sp?), the hero who immediately reacted when a terrorist tried to blow an airplane up over U.S. soil on Christmas day as it was descending into Detroit. This is an amazing story of a real life hero. If I was ever in that situation, I’d want to be like Jasper, where I act to stop the situation and not sit paralyzed in my seat while watching myself and all others blow-up. Others who have been interviewed say that Jasper was several seats across and behind the suspect. What an amazing story!
No Name Heroes
In this CNN video, a soldier recalls being shot numerous times by the Terrorist who killed 14 people and wounded 30+ others at Fort Hood last week. He tears up towards the end of the video as he recalls other soldiers who assisted him in getting to safety. Sgt. Kimberly Munley was the civilian police officer who shot and took down terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan. Sgt. Munley will easily be remembered by many for her brave act of heroism, and rightfully so, but after watching this video, I wonder how many of us would be as willing to risk our lives for another or to act with such courage, if we knew that the person we helped or saved in a distressful situation wouldn’t even know our name? How many of us would still ‘risk it’ if we had no chance of having our names posted on the front page of news sites all across the world? Check out the video…
