It was a good movie. I am grateful there are people in the world like you, who have a heart for the homeless. I have followed your blog for a while now with an eagerness.Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320244695341458176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315860074017419575.post-24312534362225077212009-10-04T07:41:57.533-04:002009-10-04T07:41:57.533-04:00hummmm i understand well that reluctance to watch ...hummmm i understand well that reluctance to watch some type of films<br /><br />we have a dvd waiting upstairs for both of us here to watch.....country walks around pembrokeshire coast<br />no /police/ bodies/knives/guns/shouting/arguing/ drama or trauma....<br /><br />sigh! it'll be great!theMuddledMarketPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153750055087770871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315860074017419575.post-82361952745036150052009-10-01T13:17:23.976-04:002009-10-01T13:17:23.976-04:00I happened to have read the book before I saw the ...I happened to have read the book before I saw the movie. Also, I saw a similar movie called Resurrecting the Champ.

Homelessness will not be resolved by conversions or stroking checks. Both approaches miss the fundamental truth that the movie tapped into so well: in the end there is no such thing as an abstract homeless “problem” to be solved from a distance, but only people who are homeless and in need of mutual human nearness. People who rise from the grave of self-absorbed, super busy, rat races and walk the journey of long-term friendship with another human can narrow that distance one person at a time. Everything else is often hubris."</b></i><br /><br />Oh Tim... Oh Tim. I say this after my own, perhaps overly left link of an opinion column, my friend David's FB page link on homeless American Girl Dolls (which I sent to you in a message on FB) and a link to your blog.<br /><br />A reminder that there are no one stop solutions. <br /><br />Thank you for this.<br /><br />Thank you for all that you do.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315860074017419575.post-27967398136555413192009-09-22T07:30:48.476-04:002009-09-22T07:30:48.476-04:00Thanks for this wonderful sharing of insight, Tim....Thanks for this wonderful sharing of insight, Tim.
