Have A Little Faith

Who, besides me, watched the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie 'Have a Little Faith' aired on ABC this past week?
While writing his newspaper column about homeless people and shelters, a journalist deliberates his own faith as he resurrects his relationship with his childhood rabbi and interacts with an African American junkie/thief turned preacher.
When asked, the rabbi tells him that God made different trees and the branches of each extend toward Him. (not a direct quote) I couldn't help think about how so many people fear or scorn the customs and rituals of others' religious beliefs. 
We were all created by one God and does it really matter by what name we call him? Doesn't each faith believe that God is love? Isn't the fact that we are all our brother's keeper at one time or another the basic premise of faith? What are your thoughts?
I really enjoyed this movie which was based on Mitch Albom's best selling novel and intend on adding the DVD to my own personal collection.

Quotes of Memorable People

Most of these quotes inadvertently relate to 'Born To Return The Gift', and can also be correlated to 'End All To Be All'.  Either you get it or you don't.

"Are you awake or dreaming? Do you know for certain? All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" - Edgar Allen Poe.

"I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched." - Edgar Allen Poe

"A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the real requirement is the ability to remember every scar." - Stephen King

I'd love to deal with some questions or comments. I promise...your view or mine might be debated, but your comments will not be moderated. There is nothing wrong with admitting that at one time or another we all are blind to something at one time or another that we now see. It's a sign of intelligence to factor in new information and adjust our viewpoints accordingly. Although sticking to one's guns is not inherently a bad idea, denying reality is.
Let me hear from you and let's grow together!
