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.
