1. You know what’s unfortunate–being bad at your job. Especially when that job is being a robber. Watch Mr. Robber in this video. You’ll see him get reprimanded repeatedly by Marian Chadwick, feisty store owner. A man is standing in front of her, aiming a gun at her, and she squares up her shoulders and tells him, “In the name of Jesus, I command you to get out of my store right now.” She looks like a mom scolding her child. And unlike Mr. Robber, she’s good at what she does.

2. Holly Bridier is thankful for Doc David Genecov, who is very good at his job. He’s giving Holly an ear (she was born with one and with a condition that caused half her face to grow at a different pace than the other half of her face). And the best part? Dr. Genecov is even piercing her ears, so for the first time in her 10 years, she can wear earrings.

3. While some are frantically trying to get loved ones out of Haiti, others are trying to get back in. One family from Southlake heard from their son in Haiti, who’s fine. When  Gail McGovern from the Red Cross in Dallas promised $1 million Wednesday to help those in Haiti, she had no idea that that number would be exceeded in the same day because of oh-so-handy technology. This is one of those examples of everybody doing the best job possible in order to help others.
