Have a little faith

Mitch Albom may be my favorite author who has consistently put books out.  I have a few favorites in the one hit wonder arena too.  There is only one book of his I never finished because it wasn't interesting like the others.  Anyway, I finished Have A Little Faith back in November.  It was a great book.  I read that one pretty quickly, one because it was a shorter easy read like most of his books, and two the movie was airing the weekend after Thanksgiving. 

What I took from this book was, we all have a journey when it comes to what we believe.  Sometimes we have to cross paths with others on a journey to find what we truly believe.  I struggled with the book at certain points because I'm always looking for that profound answer or idea that will change my life.  I really don't know why I do that but I do.  In the book there were great messages of how we should treat and love each other. We can learn from each other too.  That's what I desire to do as I live...learn!!!  As Maya Angelou said to me, okay she said it to a few hundred people, I was in the room.  She said, when you learn don't keep it to yourself.  You learn to teach others as you go. 

So have a little faith my friends. Ps...I don't know what's up with Mitch but all of his books are about people who died.  I always cry by the end.  Its never a downer just touching.
