[easy out]

Please don't think you can get away with dropping off a donation and get on a high horse because you did something good for a couple homeless people.
.
I'm not saying don't do it. Just don't be arrogant about it.
.
Get to know people. Be the hands of feet of Christ, for God's sake (literally...). Get out of your box and onto the streets. Stop living in a bubble. Do something for once.
.
Seriously.

I'm interested to hear the story that sparked this entry.

No story. I'm just sick of bullshit.

and Dev-- you can totally do it. Figure out how to volunteer at the PADS Homeless shelter. It happens at St. Peters UCC (on the other side of wilder park) once a month. Look it up. You can do it.

Emily, how do you think we can create a culture that serves/supports/gives but is not the drop-off your donation to ride away on a high horse culture?
