I'm sure it seems strange to some, my hit-and-miss church attendance, coming and going from the soup kitchen. Here's what I know.<br /><br />First, a long-lost relative of mine was finally found, after a to-that-point lifelong search. He lives at least 6 months of the year homeless, due to severe mental illness. I've seen him in the face and story, told or not, of every homeless person I've met since, from New Orleans to Over the Rhine. My prayer is that wherever he is, he's not only fed and warm, but that someone treats him with human respect and dignity.<br /><br />Second, was the journey of a few years that led me through my very worst times, and the night when my life could've ended but started again instead. Those worst times left me distrustful-of people and institutions and relationships. Those times left me entirely faithful that God will put me where I'm supposed to be. I just have to listen, and go. The rest will come<br /><br />I wish my reasons were less selfish, but I'm thankful for them, if they take me just one step further down this path.Quiet Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211946000551630350noreply@blogger.com
