while walking to church today, i saw a homeless, elderly woman digging through the trash. i witnessed her pull a partially empty bottle of sierra mist out of the trash... and proceed to drink some of it... and then use the rest to cool off her forehead and face.
i am so privileged. and also offended. rob bell said something awhile back regarding how to discern our calling. he said "don't think about what makes you happy. ask yourself 'what pisses me off more than anything else?' and then change it." this morning pissed me off and i want to do something, somehow.
many questions swirling.

I love this quote by rob bell. and i love that this experience pissed you off and make you want to act. this is a very difficult thing to witness because it feels crippling, how much can we really do anyway? i wish i had the answer.
