I brought her her food and drink and then talked with her about what brought her to this street corner today and i admit, as a skeptic i wasn't completely trustworthy of her story but who am i to judge? anyone begging for money has obviously endured something of humility and i couldnt ignore the fact that i needed to atleast try to alleviate her suffering, if only for a few minutes. now, whether this was God/Love, i am not for sure. but i guess i am learning the tragedy it is to turn a blind eye to someone in need. hey jeffrey :) its sunday so i thought i’d read up on your latest posts.

I'm actually quite stubborn and bull-headed, lol. In this case, however, Love exposed an area of my thinking that is wrong and need be transformed. For me, when Loves exposes such a thing, all the stubbornness in the world cannot stop the proceeding change. hey glen, you’re too kind. I’m actually quite stubborn and bull-headed, lol.

I wonder why this is. I mean, I want people to see God the way I do (i.e. God is Love), but not because I want to be “right”. Rather, it is that I experience so much freedom and love and joy from this way of living (or transformation into this way of living) that I want others to experience it as well.
