Today we talked more about the book and discussed some ideas for our Q&A on Tuesday. In the middle of class I remembered a book I read this past summer called "The Same Kind of Different as Me". It is a really interesting and moving book that follows the lives of two completely different people who eventually become lifelong friends. It pertains to this class because one of the characters is a homeless black man and the other is a wealth white art seller. The homeless man, Denver, has some really enlightening things to say about life on the street and the way society treats the homeless. At the heart of the book is a beautiful story of faith and God's love triumphing over the prejudices of man.
I am excited to see what Mike and Linda from the Upstate Homeless Coalition have to say on Tuesday. There are definitely a lot of people with amazing gifts to offer in our class, so I know that whatever needs they present us with will be met with creative solutions.
