Everyday, there are opportunities to make a difference and answer the call that God has placed on each of our lives. Sometimes, those moments are small and we have to be ready to react when called upon. For MLB Umpire John Tumpane, he did exactly that on Wednesday afternoon as he was walking across the Roberto Clemente Bridge in Pittsburgh.
John saw a woman who was contemplating suicide and after climbing up a railing, was looking at the Allegheny River below. What he did next was an act of courage that is worth celebrating.
He saved a life.
