You would have done well in my graduate classes.<BR/><BR/>I think sometimes people make comments such as "Why don't they just get a job" is becuase it might give them justifiction for inaction. <BR/><BR/>When I see the homeless I become very frustrated at myself and those who have the ability to do something and yet don't. We have been able to busy ourselves with our work, entertaiment and other noises so that the sounds, sights, and smells of poverty are drowned out, ignored or covered up with our nice comfortable lives. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, you should check out Larry James blog http://www.larryjamesurbandaily.blogspot.com/ <BR/>(For some reason I can't get it to link the way I want)<BR/><BR/>Your doing good work. Keep it up.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457688822841921074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766973.post-1124989970112005352005-08-25T12:12:00.000-05:002005-08-25T12:12:00.000-05:00Kim:I liked your entry, as I mentioned.

So, no need to think that it might have taken away from what you wanted to say. I simply thought it wasn't like you at first, was all. Then again, what is "normal" anyway? Blogs are indeed forums for the totality of our good and our not-so-good moods.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484218784988095227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766973.post-1124969740038920102005-08-25T06:35:00.000-05:002005-08-25T06:35:00.000-05:00Holly: Yeah, I know when I went to bed after writi...Holly: Yeah, I know when I went to bed after writing that comment I was thinking, that isn't going to turn out right. You know, like how you will say something, or normally in my case, blog something when you are feeling really passionate or moved about it because of one reason or another (or in this case because I just was really busy and had so many things on my mind that I SHOULD have been doing, yet I was blogging because I really wanted too), so I think it did influence my blog (no doubt). HOWEVER...<BR/><BR/>I still think I was successful in making a few points that honestly HAVE been on my mind this past week, but I just haven't got to mention them because I have been so busy. Hopefully my mood when writting them won't take too much away from what I wanted to get out there... <BR/><BR/>We'll see... ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughts, Holly.<BR/><BR/>Oh...P.S...those "comments" I mentioned in the blog, those weren't mentioned by you, and actually, I'm pretty sure the people I got them from don't read my blogs (but they may, who knows!

Your ethics are fitting the mold. That is a great accomplishment if you ask me. There are so many people that don't really have the heart or understanding for it. <BR/><BR/>I can't remember if I have ever asked anything about the eating part (b/c I think we talked about it in line -- or not?) but, if so, it would not have been meant as an "icky-eew-you have to eat with the homeless freaks" thing. More like, "can you eat with your clients?" Though, maybe it was meant by someone in a derogatory way or something. I can't -- but actually can -- believe the questions that make the homeless individual out to be worthless/dirty objects. It's sad, isn't it? <BR/><BR/>Random but I just thought of: I think I once told you about someone who once said something to the extent of, "God doesn't want us to help the homeless. If we give to them, they'll never learn. They can get out of their situation." I think God calls us to certain places sometimes -- to help.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'd like to leave you with a quote from one of the most famous poems ever written entitled, "Desiderata," by Max Ehrmann: <BR/><BR/>"If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself."<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I have to remind myself of these wise words. If you get a chance, look up the poem in Google and read it. I discovered it this summer.FeedingYourMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542158699816108523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766973.post-1124946694402733892005-08-25T00:11:00.000-05:002005-08-25T00:11:00.000-05:00Doh, sorry.
