the poor
so unlike many of the things i write on here, this is not polished or edited – just a random string of thoughts.
i encountered a poor, possibly homeless man in san antonio on the riverwalk this weekend. he was nice enough, and looking for a meal… whether he actually was looking for the meal or not is not my concern. God does not require that the money i give the poor be used in a certain way. the giving is my responsibility… the using is theirs, and we will each be blessed accordingly.
none the less, as i drove home, i felt disappointed in my actions. certainly i felt as though i’d acted out of a sense of charity and compassion… i truly did feel sorry for the man, and i gave cheerfully without wanting anything in return, though he offered to send money in the mail.
i suppose what bothers me the most is that if i’m honest, i think i just tried to buy him off. i wasn’t really interested in how i could help him. i didn’t care what his problems were, or why he was in the situation. i didn’t take the time to listen to his story. i don’t even know his name.
instead, in the busy rush to go get coffee that cost more than what i gave him, i passed by a hurting soul who needed jesus.
what a waste.
jeff and lauren
had a fantastic time this weekend at jeff and lauren’s wedding. perhaps more thoughts from the weekend to come, but for now, suffice it to say that it was a great time.
hopefully i can steal some pics from ben and have them posted later
rsb pictures (3)
pictures from the RSB release party are located here.
rsb release party
went down to houston last night for robbie’s release party. definitely good times. i should have pictures up at some point.
for those of you who don’t know, robbie is a featured artist on itunes, so download his free single “better days”. buy the album too – it supports a worthy cause.
my first impression of the album is that it’s fairly good – i prefer the older release i think, but no doubt because i am more familiar with it.
a couple of quick notes while i’m editing these pictures:
1) concert lighting is bad.
2) concert lighting is bad.
3) concert lighting is bad.
yeah, that should take care of it.
fisherman pants
A quick note on fisherman pants:
Fisherman pants with strings vs. fisherman pants with elastic.
Each has strongpoints… For instance, the pants with strings are, I would say, in general more comfortable. However, they suffer from a few numerous drawbacks, one of which I hadn’t considered until just now: Fisherman pants with strings are prone to those strings getting in the toilet as you sit down to do your business, where as pants with elastic are not.
Carry on.
