Amazon.com: Books: Under the Overpass : A Journey of Faith on the Streets of America

There was an interview with the author of this book on the Christian radio station this morning. I heard a bit of it on my way out and decided to tune in and hear the rest on the way to work. This guy decided to live as a homeless person for 5 months or so to see how the church deals with the homeless. It got me thinking a little bit about faith and location. Is it easier to trust God in familiar surroundings? I suppose it's easier to rely on yourself in familiarity and fear the unfamiliar. A few weeks ago Darrel supposed that Christians would be better suited for deep space exploration (should the technology advance that far) that atheists and agnostics. His reasoning was that we believe God is everywhere and can protect and provide for us anywhere He wishes. That got me thinking a bit about RR moving across the country to a new place where she knows only a couple of people who'll be hours away. However the God she trusts int he Pacific North-West looks over the Mid-Atlantic States as well.

Rest easy and try to be content in your situation. Sometimes the timing isn't up to you and maybe things just aren't ready for you here yet.
