When he was 18, he lost one of his legs in a vehicle accident. Eventually, after many surgeries, he lost his other leg too. It would be easy to see why someone would just want to give up after that. But after seeing someone else compete as an amputee, Rigsby decided to give it a try even though he had never run much, didn’t have a bicycle and didn’t know how to swim. He overcame all of that. And he did it as a double amputee. What does that mean about the obstacles that we face in our lives? The first thing we need to do is have a dream and know that nothing is going to be easy. Rigsby had family and friends doubt that he was going to be able to do the Ironman. Sure, there were probably people who were there to push him and encourage him. But there are things that happen in our lives that will try to trip us and make us fail. That’s where fear comes in. We get scared of failure but we need to persevere and make it through. When things are tough, we need to remember what Rigsby said: “When our life is spinning out of control, we try to deal with things we can’t control. Control those things that you have control of. Leave the rest up to God.” And of course, dream your dream and run to the finish line. — Payton Towns III Who, and What, Is Conservative?

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Bill Carter had been planning his bucket-list winter vacation to Alaska for 30 years, and he couldn’t have picked a better time to take it. The retired chemist from Jesup, Ga., didn’t mind that February temperatures can hover near minus 40 degrees on the outskirts of Fairbanks, because the night sky there offered Carter something most people never get to see: the aurora borealis. “Yellows, oranges, greens. There were light bursts that would come from time to time,” Carter said during his trip. “There were light rays that seemed to come from the ground up, and from the sky down.” The northern lights can be MR.
