It\u2019s stories like this, mentioned all too seldom, that define what it means to be made in the image of God. No scientific theory can explain it, only the fact that there is a divine spark in us that causes us to come together to give that helping hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
