its awfully cold today in North Texas<\/a>. maybe not as cold as other places, but following a weekend of 80 degrees, 30 degrees feels super cold.<\/p>\n

we’re lucky. even in my garage its not that cold. i had a nice hot shower and settled down with a cold beer before remembering i needed to take this photo. then i put on a nice warm beanie and my extra warm new coat and took this photo. i even have some nice warm gloves in my pocket that i could have put on.<\/p>\n

yet tonight around north texas and elsewhere who knows how many men, women and children are trying to stay warm outside.<\/p>\n

this weekend my friends Josh and Jeff spent 29 hours on the street in waco, living as though they were homeless. Josh said he realized fairly quickly that it was a lot harder than he imagined. just 29 hours. yet folks do it 24\/7.<\/p>\n

thanks to folks like invisiblepeople.tv<\/a> who help remind us that these are real people with real stories. i hope to tell Josh and Jeff’s story soon on the podcast<\/a> and hopefully Mark (from
\ninvisiblepeople.tv<\/a>) as well.<\/p>\n

until then, chew on this and then check out the website ::<\/p>\n

On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why did you permit this? Why don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you do something about it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d For a while God said nothing. That night he replied, quite suddenly:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I certainly did something about it. I made you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
