America Rising - Charity


 Ah yes...charity...or as the nuns used to remind us, sacrificial love like that of Christ is the only real charity St. Michael the Archangel,my parish, announces that it needs $300,000 to fix the 37-year old air conditioning unit, to replace the electrical room, and to add handicapped parking spaces. I can't give them 300 grand, but I can give them three hundred. Everyone else stretches, too, and it gets done.
My brother is in danger of losing his house. I can't keep him from losing his house, but I can help with a few mortgage payments.
And Americans give more and  rise to the challenge every day to provide charity in a way that no other people can. Ignore the smarmy media and academic hate America crowd. 
America is still rising and is still the best hope for mankind.
