Page and I saw something on TV recently that grabbed my attention. A man in Ohio has taken on a cause. His cause is literacy for poor and at-risk children. Here’s how the idea came to him. He and his very young daughter were giving away some of her books. A certain child happened by, whereupon the daughter said: “Hi! You want one of these books?” The other child answered: “Really? All my own? I’ve never had a book before.” The dad said the little child held it in her hands like it was fourteen carat gold, eyes wide as a huge grin spread across her face. When she walked away, his daughter asked, “Daddy, is that true? How can any kid not have books?” At that moment, he said, he sensed a Calling. He would organize efforts to put books in the hands of young children who might have none of their own. He has found “a” cause. Maybe it is not earth-changing, but it could be for the children who have no access to reading materials at home. Maybe it will not end world hunger or bring about world peace, but it will make the world a more informed, imaginative, and fascinating place for the children whom he and his daughter help.
