Famous vs For Real Deal

     The tragic loss of a great athlete, Kobe Bryant, was felt all around the  world!  Whether you were a die hard fan or not, the impact of his helicopter crashing suddenly with his 13 year old daughter, Gianna, touched hearts everywhere.  Bryant lived the life he talked about.  He was a family man and a good husband to his wife.  Overall, he was a wonderful person to take lessons from.  All the world should take a page  from Kobe Bryant's Life.  Humble yourself, keep family close, work hard at what ever you do and treat people how you want to be treated.      The family Kobe has left behind includes his wife, oldest daughter and two younger daughters, one of which is under 3 years old.  We should all prayer for them!  The prayers will give them strength and support more than you know.  Let's also pray for the families of the other members of the helicopter crash.  They also need support from t...
