Our story tonight is called Lightning Bugs at Oxbow Lake, and it’s a story about an evening spent on soft pine needle paths beside the water. It’s also about cattails and crested herons, the changing paths of rivers, a small voice reminding you that you can, and the spell of a good night’s sleep.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Marine Mammal Center. The center's mission is to advance global marine conservation through rescue and rehabilitation, research, and education.
