Faith Like a Child

Five year old Jackson Mayberry didn't get any toys for his birthday. But don't feel sad for him. The Nebraska boy wanted his presents to come as food for his church's food pantry so that folks in need wouldn't go hungry. Jackson said he had all the toys he wanted and he didn't want others to go without. Mayberry attends Kountze Memorial Lutheran Church in Omaha, whose food ministry serves 250 people per week.

Savannah's WSAV has a report online here: Little Boy Foregoes Birthday Gifts To Help Others In Need. It's a story of one boy's selfless love for those who don't have as much as he and his family enjoy.

Two Degrees of Separation
Today's religion column for the Tribune & Georgian started out here as a blog post here on the Six Degrees of Separation. The column is still about about six degrees. Now, a few days later, I wish I had called it Two Degrees of Separation and emphasized how we know Jesus and He knows everyone. Oh well. The full text of the column, which was added to with more research after the blog post, is online here: Six Degrees of Separation
