Hungry Homeless People

Today I took a three USI students to Indianapolis to help an organization with food prep - sandwiches, soup and such - that they give to the homeless in downtown Indy. A professor at USI and my mom both wondered why we wouldn't feed the homeless in Evansville. I argued that a hungry homeless person was a hungry homeless person regardless of the city they were in and that the problem is larger in Indy. Then today as I am driving to Indy, I see two homeless people in Evansville. Oh boy - the guilt!

The students really enjoyed the day - one of them had never done any volunteer work before. I think that they felt good that they had actually made a difference. I am proud of them. In two weeks, a group of students are going to help at the Indiana State Museum Art Show. Matt is going as the advisor but I want to go too even though I am the one that told him he had to go so I could stay home. When will I learn that I do not need to be involved in everything?! Plus they are going on my only day off this month - please send me your good thoughts that I will be strong and maybe sleep in or catch up on homework or clean my apartment or tackle the list of things that need to be done instead of going on this trip!
