our church has a new website. we go to the "central" location.

Driving home around midnight last night I saw a man on the street, sitting on the steps of a building entryway, leaned up against the wall as if asleep. I drove home, but couldnt get him out of my mind. I sat there parked in front of my house, debating as to whether to go back and help him or not. I decided to go back. As I approached, I saw him stumbling down the sidewalk a few blocks away from where I had seen him earlier. I stopped at the curb, rolled down the window, and called out to him. He had blood on his face, and was so drunk he could barely walk. He said he lived at 42nd and Albany. (a few blocks away). I said, are you lost? He said "No, I'm not lost, but its just that.... I'm drunk." I drove him home and he said he had been jumped by two guys earlier and kept holding his head and cussing. He said he was ok but just needed to get home. We talked a bit about God, but he was too drunk to comprehend anything I was saying. I gave him my number... maybe he'll wake up and see it and call out of curiousity. I'm glad to have gotten him off the streets though, who knows what would happen to him between 40th and kedzie and 42nd and albany.
