Scott…

December 7th, 2005

Has been on my mind… Scott is a homeless man who has been coming into my local Caribou lately to sip some coffee and warm up.

My goal is to engage in a conversation with Scott.. Maybe give him a Caribou Card, although the girl working there gives him free coffee… Time will tell, I don't want to be upfront and act like I would be there to help in a "Christian" way that may turn him off, but to be there for conversation and love in a "Jesus" way.

Scott hasn't been in the last 2 days. When its below 0 and windy I wonder about those who survive on the streets, and those who don't… I guess I never have thought about those without shelter so closely. I was cold last night because I turn my thermostat down to 60 to conserve energy and money…

I hope you're doing ok Scott…

    E what a great heart you have- what about a gift card for Byerly's or Lunds or even Target- he could get some warmer clothes or some food?

    I think even just acknowledging him and chatting with him would be heart warming for him- just to sit and chat and have the company of someone.

    a caribou card gives him opportunity for food/drink/warmth for a few hours..
