Sometimes we can be inspired from the most ordinary things.

It occured to me this morning as I was listening to Good Moning America while I was doing some chores. When I work at home I have the benefit of putting TV on as I work; not to listen to “soap operas” but to listen to informative programs. Good Morning America and The View I find most interesting.

My inspiration came when they did an update on a story they presented 9 months ago. Camden,N.J had some of the poorest children in this country; Camden is a “stone’s throw from N.Y. Ivan, an adorable 4 year old black child was homeless with his Brother  and his Mother. They were living under conditions hard for us to imagine,including going hungry and the 3 of them sleeping on 1 chair. Ivan however, focused on the start of School. He wanted to go to School and learn how to read.His hero was Superman.

The outcry to help them was so gratifying. This family now has an apartment, food in the refrigerature and furniture. He has completed Kindergarten, in shirt, tie and he’s able to read.

To see the happiness in the faces of this family;a family living in the streets where gun fire was every day life, I was moved by the good things TV shows can accomplish.

Good Morning America was doing a story about proverty under our noses. I and many others never realized that Camden, N.J. had pockets of proverty of this magnitude.

Apparently,tonight 20/20 will tell stories of others in Have a little Faith.

There is more than sleeze on television.
