Under the Overpass...

I just finished this book today... It's about a college student and his friend who drop out to go live on the streets for five months as homeless people... I had my doubts because of its seeming similarities to this book, which sent the students on my campus into a craze of selling all of their things and getting really mean to the people who didn't... But I'm speaking at a homeless shelter for a class, so I thought it would be helpful insight... It was verrry interesting. It was convicting in a way that wouldn't make me want to share my money, but my time and my compassion and love. Not that I'm not willing to share my money, but it's scary to think I'd be supporting just another fix for a homeless man. Anyways, I feel like I understand a little bit more about homeless life and will keep a box of protein bars in my car in case I come across any in my town.

In other news, last night was Nate's first tournament game... they didn't win, which made it his last game of the season, which made it his last game at taylor, which made it his last game of his soccer career... It was very emotional. But I'm proud of him. Now onto training for our half marathon in May!
