TO SPITE the evil around us.We've said it before and we'll keep saying it. Your greatest source of pain can be your greatest platform. From that vantage point you can lend a hand up to another. From that vantage point, you can see the ways in which you've been given a hand up."Yeah, right," you might say. "Where was he when...?" Fill in the blank.Perhaps you need to take another look.That hand is always there. Look around.  Look up. For heaven's sake, just look!And listen in to our discussion today for the evidence Marian Poeppelmeyer found when searching for the father she never had an opportunity to know. He was killed in the airborne bombing of US AIR Flight 629 just after take off from Denver's Stapleton International Airport in 1955.Did you know about this? It's surprising to learn most Americans have no idea this sabotage happened. Most don't know of this loss of life over our country. And most people have no idea around 500 courageous Americans took to the beet fields north of Denver in November of 1955 to search for survivors and to lend a hand.It's what Americans do.It's what God does.***Marian Poeppelmeyer published FINDING MY FATHER: Beyond Tragedy, Through Trauma, and Into Freedom in 2019.  Based on a true story, she recounts what happened 66 years ago on November 1, 1955, when her father was killed in the first commercial plane bombing over U.S. soil.  It’s a message of forgiveness and hope that chronicles the survival of a family who endured the ripple effects of trauma but who overcame the pain with fresh perspective.
