Finding faith where it lives

Sometimes, you find faith where you look for it.

Mitch Albom found it again in his interaction with two ministers that he chronicles in a column on the Washington Post web site. Albom writes a column for the Detroit Free Press and is author of "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." His piece in the Washington Post is about Rabbi Albert Lewis and Pastor Henry Covington.

From Rabbi Lewis, Albom learned, "Be satisfied. Be grateful. For what you have. For what God has given you." Happiness is "not so complicated."

From Pastor Covington, Albom learned that small acts of kindness have big consequences.

Together, they taught him:

That we are all children of God, that faith isn't about me being more pious than you, my denomination being the right one, my religion needing to destroy yours to prove itself. Faith can actually be something we celebrate in each other, something that makes us more alike that different.

The column is here and well worth your time.
