Well, I decided to do something I have been talking about for a while. A
couple of weeks ago the city of Dallas started issuing warnings to
people who are feeding the homeless outside of the local mission. If
they gave tickets it would be a $2000 fine. Anyway, this whole law is
wrong on many levels, so yesterday I called the Dallas City Council's
office. I will now be speaking next Wednesday morning at the Dallas City
Council meeting to get them to rescind their homeless ordinance. I just
can't stand back and complain and not do anything. That is not my style.
I hate complaining, I'd rather remedy the situation. So next Wednesday
morning I will take off in the morning, go to city hall and give a 2
minute speech to them about rescinding the ordinance. It will probably
be fruitless. My hope is to use pure reason to show that the effects
they intended to happen as a result of this law are not happening. I
will probably be the last person to speak at the meeting since I am a
resident of Carrollton instead of Dallas. I might not get a chance to
speak, but at least I will try. Anyways, just wanted to let you know so
that you can pray for me on Wednesday April 5th to say the right things
to get them to change their minds. Wait, this post wasn't funny...
Here's a joke.

Thought of the Day
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party.
Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their
ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do
you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out
of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.
The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the
bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the
lawyer.
