🚨INCREDIBLE: Elisjsha Dicken was shopping with his girlfriend at a mall in Indiana when a gunman started shooting in the food court. Putting his own life in danger, Elisjsha confronted the gunman and neutralized him within fifteen seconds...

Countless lives were saved.

Nicholas Bostic was delivering pizza in Indiana when he saw a house go up in flames.

Without hesitating, he ran into the house and pulled four occupants out.

He was then told there was a six year old child still inside.

Bostic ran back into the fully engulfed home, found the child and while cradling her, he jumped out of a second story window to safety.

A lot of attention is given to the worst of society, but we need to remember that the human spirit is still alive and well.

These are the people that our attention should be focused on.

Our lives are all elevated when we take seriously the responsibility of being our brothers keepers.
