Derek and Tiffany
I'm back! I doubt any of you missed me that much, but nevertheless... here we are. I spent the week with my church youth group in Denver Colorado working with the homeless through a missions agency called DOOR. You can visit the website here. It was an amazing, eye-opening time of outreach and reflection, where we spent time feeding, talking to or helping the homeless. You don't realize how much you have until you come in contact with someone who carries all their belongings in a dufflebag. Then you find out that you are among the richest people in the world. I'll tell you about one man I met named Curt. He has been homeless for 29 years. He has a job, he has a sound mind, and he doesn't use drugs, so he breaks every stereotype I've ever had. His faith and his smile lit up my world for the 2 hours that I had talking to him. He said his biggest struggle is finding a safe place to sleep at night. I am forever changed... Thank you Curt.
