It is summer and we are sitting in his office. I ask him why he thinks he became a rabbi.
He counts his fingers.
"Number one, I always liked people.
"Number two, I love gentleness.
"Number three, I have patience.
"Number four, I love teaching.
"Number five, I am determined in my faith.
"Number six, it connects me to my past.
"Number seven - and lastly - it allows me to fulfill the message of our tradition: to live good, and to be blessed."
I didn't hear God in there.
He smiles.
"God was there before number one."
- Mitch Albom, Have a Little Faith
