By Mitch Albom

He was The Singing Rabbi. Not just on the pulpit. Everywhere. In his later years, if you asked Albert Lewis how he was doing, he'd warble:

"the old gray rabbi
ain't what he used to be
aint what he used to be"

I knew him as a boy, the way most of us know our men of faith - from afar. Back then, if I saw him coming, I ran. He scared me. Or the idea of him did. A Man of God. Surely I did not belong in such company.

Then, nine years ago, when I was in my 40's and he was 82 and in failing health, he asked me a question that changed my life:

"Will you do my eulogy?"

Dr. Phil The following inspirational post is from a good friend of mine, Mitch Albom. Mitch is the bestselling author of “Tuesdays with Morrie,” and he recently wrote “Have a Little Faith.” His dedication to the good people of Detroit is evident in his generous support of programs such as I Am My Brother’s Keeper Ministry and S.A.Y. Detroit Family Health Clinic. Please enjoy:

Ten years ago, if you had asked me about faith, I would have bitten my lip. It was one of those taboo subjects. Keep it to yourself. Don’t reveal too much. Especially if all you have to say about it is cynical.

It’s not that I lost my faith. It’s just that I had wandered away from it. I was healthy. Work was going well. I figured God goes his way, I go mine, we have a truce of sorts. Besides, when I thought about organized religion, I tended to focus on the scandals. The hypocrisy. The bad headlines.
