Wacky But True:
There’s a teacher in Indianapolis who writes a birthday letter to each and every student he’s ever had. What’s even more amazing is that he keeps up with his writing after they’ve graduated from high school. He’s had more than 2,500 students. He says he never knows when God will use his letters to send encouragement and so that’s what keeps him going. It’s really such a heart warming story and we have the full story on our web site....it’s really a story about sending love out in the world and very fitting on this Valentine’s Day.
