Land of 10,000 Stories special airs tonight

We've been bombarded with bad news of late. It can sometimes seem as if the world is nothing but sadness and suffering. But, if you look hard enough, you'll find stories that surprise and delight and even uplift your spirit.

Take, for instance, this story done by KARE 11 television's Boyd Huppert. It's about Greg Thomas, a man from Montgomery, Minn. who was diagnosed with stage four cancer three years ago and was told to go home and plan his funeral. Instead, he found a miracle in a rundown and abandoned old church.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer talks with KARE 11's Boyd Huppert about the stories he shares.
