KIMBALL, Neb. — When Kimball resident Caroljo Nagel received a new car last month, she praised God.

“It's not about me. It's not about the car. It's about God. Give it to Him,” she said after receiving a 2009 Buick Lucerne, courtesy of donations to a “pay it forward” campaign.

The campaign was started by Kimball resident Blain Schilreff, who noticed Nagel was getting around without a reliable car.

“She had paid $300 for her car after being on foot for three months,” he said. “Prior to that, she was walking for a year. She is definitely someone who deserves a good car.”

It was good people who did this and it likely had nothing to do with God.

It was just good people. One does not need a god to do good things. Why? Oh why can't humanity learn this simple lesson?
