Hearts in the Right Place

MERRILL, Wis. — A Wisconsin man has sold his hunting rifles to buy 100 turkeys for needy families this Thanksgiving.

Pat Callahan says his kidneys are failing and he's no longer able to hunt deer, so he decided he'd sell his guns to help others.

It's not the first time Callahan has done something like that. The former auto technician has also raised money for various causes in his home town of Merrill by selling the tools from his former business, Doc's Auto Repair.

Callahan says he and his wife don't have a large income, but they were also able donate $10,000 to the Lincoln County Humane Society earlier this year for spaying and neutering shelter animals.

You can't take your material possessions with you when your life on earth is done. Sounds like a great guy who is storing up a huge treasure in heaven.
