volunteerSo today, rather than just sit at home (which, honestly, was my preference), I rattled up four more volunteers and we worked for about six hours in Fall River at a church that serves the homeless meals every Monday. Granted, I'm Jewish, but I really got into the Priest's talk before the guests came in, when he said that every person who came in was Christ in our eyes... kind of brought a new perspective to how most people view the homeless.
Also, it affected me a lot as I was homeless myself for a few months (well, couch-surfing between three friends' trailers) and it's taken me this long... damn near 18 years... to help out those who are now in the plight I used to be in. It takes a lot to walk in someone else's shoes, but sometimes I think it's harder to remember what it was like to wear shoes that you yourself have kicked away. I'll be going back there, I'm sure.
Oh, and on a brighter note, the former band geek and current computer geek in me loved this:
