I think the way this group is headed is good. I like to be challenged (as I am currently experiencing with Shane's book), and I want to get out of the comfort zone I'm living in now.
...At school, it's very easy to get wrapped up in ourselves with papers & tests & all that jazz, and yet there's more to life than that.
So, I'm glad my eyes are gradually being opened to what's really going on in this world, where I'm being shown that I need to readjust my thoughts/priorities and focus more on love for those who are too commonly neglected and feared.
It's scary to think about and hard to know where to start, but the things this group is looking into opens doors--necessary ones--ones that have been closed for too long. I had no idea how much poverty affected those in Hamilton until this year--and it's just a ridiculous cycle. I was thinking--we should go and visit Philadelphia or some other community like the one Shane lived in. He keeps on inviting us.
