Right and Easy.

Right now it's 21 degrees outside (with the wind chill). From 6-8:30 tonight, I'm going to be outside visiting the homeless, bringing them food, friendship, prayer, and a chance to get off the streets. And it's going to be cold. If you're in Michigan right now maybe you don't think that's very cool, but it is to me. And there's two thoughts in my head:

1. They're out there, so we should be out there.
2. It's going to be C-O-L-D.

But I'm going, because it's important. Because tonight might the night for someone. This might be the night they turn their back on a life of addiction and sleeping under bridges and instead commit to a different way, a better way- the way of Jesus. Maybe. I'm going to find out, and I'm going to freeze while I do. I'm not looking forward to it, but I know it's the right thing to do, so I'm going. Right and easy are not always the same thing, and in this case I choose right. I reserve the right to change my mind for whatever tomorrow brings, but tonight I'm going.
