Hi all,

yesterday, there was a homeless guy named Mark who needed a warm place to stay 
and food in his tummy. I couldn't just sit there and watch it all happen. I did 
something about it. I was at ILR and he wasn't getting the help he needed as 
the one person was unavailable to help him. I told him he could stay with us 
for the evening and he came, had dinner, stayed for bible study, and then 
stayed the night with us. we gaave him a bus pass. We gave him three meals. and 
a place to sleep but he had to sit and listen to a Bible study. He came to us 
on Bible study night and I wasn't about to stop the bible study just because he 
had come.  

Today, I come in there to ILR and do my teaching like normal. After my class, 
the head guy and one of the staff people asked to talk to Todd and I. Then my 
IL specialest came in and also sat in on the conversation. They kept saying 
that I wasn't in trouble. I was wondering then why are they bringing all these 
people along. Well, I got told that I couldn't befriend or make friends with 
consumers as a volunteer. the guy was homeless and he needed a place to stay. 
The boss was saying that he could have gone to shelters, and any amout of other 
places. At the churches there are places to get free meals and foodboxes, etc. 
I felt a peace about taking this guy in for one night. My IL specialest was 
afraid that I might be endangering myself. 

Spiritually, I feel like I have turned another corner and a door has closed 
behind me. I feel like I couldn't turn back if you paid me money. I will be 
forever changed by last night. I have always wondered what it would be like to 
take a homeles person in for a night. I've always wanted to help people and now 
that is true for me more than ever. I guess people see blindness as a sign of 
weakness and so there for, we shouldn't do things like this. If I'm going to 
die then I know where I'm going. I'm ready to serve god in whatever capacity.

Hugs,
your radical Sean
