“We appeal as human beings to human beings;
remember your humanity
and forget the rest.” - Albert Einstein
This past Sunday, a cold, destitute, homeless man
named “Richard” wandered into our church. The public library
was closed and escaping the single digit temps outside

While we gathered around the social hall table - he took
In one hot cup of coffee and let out three napkins full
of regrets. His story was patchy, sad, and discombobulated.
However, with surprisingly little effort, I was able to imagine
myself in his well-worn shoes had I not had so much support
from my very imperfect family, friends - - - and the random
kindnesses and decency of everyday people.
Examples of these wonderful human encounters will be
introduced in some of my subsequent posts - Please stay tuned.
