Homeless
And no I am not, however as a part of an experience that gets me credits for my 179255 paper, tomorrow, I am going to be living as a client of the baptist city mission for the next eight days. I wont be like a real homeless person because if I choose to I can stop, chicken out or leave. Not a choice that real homeless people have. They cant just get on a bus and head home to their nice house in the suburbs

Read the most brilliant book today. About a colledge student who decided he wanted to see if his faith in God was authentic, so he decided to become a homless person. And for five months he was living out of dumpsters, panhandling for food. He madce the comment that in all the places he went, the worst reception he and his buddy had were from churches

the book is called "under the overpass: a journey of faith on the streets of america" by Mike Yankoski, and I give it a five out of five
