Happiest Man in the World Book tour

Tonight I went to the book signing tour for Dr. Jackson’s book The Happiest Man in the World. Dr. Jackson is business man who amassed a fortune and realized he would happier giving to other people. He began an organization called Project Cure which provides medical supplies to countries who are in dire need of medical supplies. I have volunteered a couple times for his organization and love being a part of an organization that gives back to society.

I love charity and giving to others. It is a basic tenant of Christianity and one that was impressed upon me by my mother. I have always had a passion for giving to others and after volunteering for many charity or aid organizations in college I cannot imagine not giving some of my time or money to such organizations. It is easy to talk about helping others but there comes a point where Christianity has to be lived out. Helping others has to be done, it is an action and not an idea we hold to or profess in social circles. For me volunteering my time for groups that send medical supplies to foreign countries, or groups that feed the homeless or shut ins, is the practical outward expression of the belief that I should help others & be generous.
