Many of the local homeless used the center for a meal, a shower, to get there cloths washed. We would do outreach once a month and take supplies to the places where they lived. In the winter it was bad. Some of the guys we knew well died.<br />Many of them were homeless by choice. They could not or would not "conform". Homelessness has it's own culture.God worked in my life through these experiences.

Just in the last year, I have brought music back into my life.<br /><br />This little neighbor boy is teaching me about the wonder of music, the joy of affectionate touch, the wonder and awe of God . . . <br /><br />I may be teaching him how to play the piano, but he is teaching me how to re-connect with all that is wonderful.<br /><br />- Marie (Coming Out of the Trees)<br />http://mmaaggnnaa.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-25216326629648335722009-08-17T18:52:37.015-04:002009-08-17T18:52:37.015-04:00I've been meaning to see that movie.

My brother is a lot like Jamie's character (without the musical stuff). I started to feel more compassion and can kind of understand the "letting go with love" just a bit more. That concept had been pretty illusive to me as of late. I also had difficulty with the homeless scenes in LA. The movie did bring me much understanding about what my brother may be going through though, especially the apartment scene.
