The night after we watched "The Pursuit of Happyness" we watched the special features and it talked about them having an Italian director for this "american dream" story. Anyways, in that featurette it also mentioned that he insisted on hiring people who were actually homeless for the roles of the homeless people in the movie. One of the producers talked about how the people talked about how it felt to go and pick up a paycheck, how it gave them some self-esteem. How cool is that!
Made me think more about the fact that I need to start doing something...

Rayna: Need to start doing what?
-Mark
That's the problem, Mark, I am unsure what exactly. I am pretty sure that I would like to do something with teenage moms - there is a school for pregnant teens and teenage parents here in Calgary that I am going to try to volunteer in the day care baby holding. I am hoping to do that in fall, but I feel like I should do something with homeless people as well. I'm trying to figure out right now if that is because the Bible talks about poor and needy or if I have a real desire from God to help those people.
This is my dilemma.
