Teacher joins with church to create backpack ministry for hungry kids  
   
MEADOWVIEW, Va. -- Becky McKinney will never forget the day she was substituting at the school and realized that some children don't have enough to eat on the weekends.

"A clinic pass was lying on the teacher's desk from the day before and was marked 'stomachache.' The nurse had written back that the child was just hungry. Honestly, that ripped my heart out."

Who Said That?

"If you dine out on Thanksgiving, tip generously as part of your Christian witness, even if your service is not up to the standard you expect. The people who have to work on Thanksgiving usually have no choice if they want to keep their jobs."

 -- Rev. Mickey Rainwater during Nov. 22 worship at Fairview United Methodist Church, Maryville, Tenn.
