In the cigarette shack surrounded by gas pumps...

THere is a well spoken African American man who can't afford college. I buy cigarttes from him. He applied for finacial aid but didn't get it. Maybe he couldn't afford the payments. He is like so many Americans who need a bag full of Money to fall in his lap. He isn't on the picket line with a poster board that says, "I can't afford college." He is working. I am sure he is intrigued like I am about the movement.
It is the Kroger near Sam's Club.
Right now I am wondering what can I do for him. I am also questioning why I am thinking about him at all. I wish I could maybe we should all pray that he will feel the glory of God so much so it will sufocate him. Pray that during the holidays he will be surrounded by his freinds and family. Give him hope because the job he has is beneath him or if you are in the westend and you need gas go to Kroger with your Kroger card and see if he is working. Say hello.
This Christmas think of what you have not your have not's.
