This Saturday I had the privelege of washing the feet of the "homeless and poor" on our "Skid Row" in LA. This is an event that is done twice a year by the LA mission... (for Easter and Thanksgiving)... I would like to take elements of it to the streets of my neighborhood in some way. On a street level I have noticed that if people have trouble with thier feet then they can be in very vulnerable situation...

It would be better if all people were connected to loving families with loving homes... somewhere on the journey the pain and suffering addictions and consumptions... human brokeness has led to a lack of trust and seperation; this is true for all of us but those on the streets live it at a much more profound level at times... The work of reconcilation still stands... Caring for one another's feet litterally and metaphorically seems one good place to start with those on the streets. We all need the strength to stand on our own two feet... Care, bless, connect, respect -- this can be communicated by our actions much more profoundly than our words. This is part of my growing edge.
