As I was leaving my restaurant gig tonight, I met a homeless man. He didnt ask me for anything...I could just tell by the way he looked like he wasnt sure what to do with himself. I asked if he needed help and he said he was just hoping to get a slice of pizza. I gave him $5 and talked to him for a bit. I suggested that he go to a local shelter that my church helps run. He said he knew of it and had been there before. Unfortunately, there arent too many places for people to actually sleep. They are mostly day centers. That helps, but people like Neil are going to be sleeping out in the elements tonight as the temps go lower and lower. I felt kind of guilty because I complained a lot last night that it was so cold in the house and made Erica turn the heat on. Tonight, I am grateful that I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, a car to drive to work, and work to go to. Many cant say the same. Praying for Neil as he bundles up against the cold tonight.
