A tragic plane crash, 10 years later

A prayer service was held on June 1 to mark the 10th anniversary of the crash of American Airlines flight 1420 in Arkansas. Twenty-five members of the Ouachita Singers travel group were on board that flight in 1999, returning from a trip to Europe. Nine people died in the crash; 145 people were on board.

According to an article in Townhall.com, the survivors of flight 1420 told stories of true heroism, with people risking their lives to save complete strangers.

Charlie Fuller, former dean of Ouachita's school of fine arts, led the Ouachita Singers on their European tour. He reflected, "How does God give us hope? Through His presence embodied in those who stand with us when we need it."

As you go about your day today, remember to put others first. You are the hands and feet of God.
