A while ago I read the book Same kind of different as me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. I loved the book, albeit some um descriptions of heavenly visitations. I wasn't sure what to think about that. It is very easy to read and I loved the story. Here are a couple of quotes that I enjoyed from the book.
"I'm just messin with you. Even though I am seventy years old, I got a lot to learn too. I used to spend a lot of time worryin that I was different from other people, even from other homeless folks. Then, after I met Miss Debbie and Mr. Ron, I worried that I was so different from them that we wadn't ever gon' have no kind a' future. But I found out everybody's different-the same kind of different as me. We're all just regular folks walkin' down the road God done set in front of us."
"The truth about it is, whether we is rich or poor or somethin' in between, this earth ain't no final restin place. So in a way, we is all homeless-just workin our way toward home."
Go read the book.
