What do you do...

...when you pass a cripple on the street begging for money.
...when you hear a small voice sobbing in a dark alley
....when you see a homeless man on a wheelchair digging through the cigarette pit looking for a fresh smoke
...when you hear a desperate scream in an empty lot
...when you find a drunk woman shivering on the street
...when you meet god in the city

what do you do?
Another good day at market.
Last Friday I tipped a street guitarist and we started talking a little about music and I told him that I play too. So today, I was walking past again, and he's like "hey brother you wanna keep the music rollin while i go for some lunch?" wow. that was awsome. So i was there all by myself with a three grand guitar for like fifteen minutes, jamming out on the street. That was special for me. Oh. His name is Chris. He's like a fifty year old colored guy. He's awsome.

Into the Sky, by Jason Upton.

Hey Jesus, are you still on the cross
or are you feeling better?
Hey Jesus, will you come play with me?
Im ready and willing.

Won't you come down, down, down, down to the ground.
To the next to me place
with a smile on my face
and a song in my ear
Around
and around
and around
and around
and around we go

Hey Jesus, when I wave at you
do you wave back too?
Hey Jesus, when I'm feeling sad
do you feel sad too?

Hey Jesus, if we throw these books
do you think they will fly?
Hey Jesus, can I touch the moon
throw me into the sky
And then I'll come down, down, down, down to the ground.
To the next to me place
with a smile on my face
and a song in my ear
Into the sea
Into the sea
Around and around
Around and around
Around we go...Around
and around
and around
and around
and around we go

"May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.


May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.


May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.


And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done."
