Anyways, on with the blog. Yesterday I found another John Grisham novel of my Dad's, The Street Lawyer. It's about a young lawyer who, after a brush with death at the hands of a homeless man, becomes involved in the lives of the homeless. He meets a lawyer who works free for homeless people, visits shelters and soup kitchens, and ends up quitting his well-paid job to become a full-time pro bono lawyer. The story reminded me that I have no contact with those less fortunate than myself, and I don't do any volunteering besides at my church. It's given me the impetus to get around to doing something I've thought about but not been committed to... I'm going to sign up to spend an hour and a half each week helping boys in care with their homework. Will I change the world? Probably not. Will I make a positive difference in the life of a child? Maybe yes. If so, it will be worth while :-) Long live the naive and the stupid of this world... # |
