Today on the metro I over heard these two men from two very different worlds have a conversation about the culinary arts. The old black man was telling the young white man about 'Julie and Julia' he told him how great the movie was. He offered him words of wisdom to having a great future. Then told him good luck and have a blessed day. It was so cute. It made me smile a lot. So great to see that there are still good people in this world that are not afraid to connect with strangers.

Still good people teaching their children to be good. Today one the train there was a lady that sat next to me who dropped a quarter on her seat. As she got up a little girls (about 6 or 7) jumped up grabbed the quarter and handed to the lady before she walked off the train. This made me smile and warm in the heart.

What the?

Just another day on the Metro!  Enough said

Don't judge a book (or person) by its cover

Daily I sit on this train and I wonder what all these other people do for a living. I wonder where others are going. I wonder how some of them became homeless. Sadly I think how do people lose complete touch with their families. Isn't anyone worried about them? Are they out there looking for them? Did they give up? It really make me appreciate my loving family. I also have respect for some (not all) of these man and women who travel all day on these train just selling candy. Today I heard one guy say he started at 8:30 am 10 hours of work for like $20 bucks. While other people would rather sit on their butts and whine about the world and how life sucks. How do you do that? I'm bored after one day at home.  Lastly, the last type of people. Those who look great. All clean cut, nicely dressed and then they are one this train heading to Watts to score. No not in score or bed...but the other way. It just strikes me funny that WE all of us judge people by their looks, outfit or facial expression. But in reality we really don't know them at all. Think of all the ways you've looked and why. All the days you worn a sad face or angry expression and all the people who judged you. Maybe they look the way the do today because of a fight at home, a fire in their house or even a loss of a loved one...but they had to keep going or they would fall completely apart. Instead of judging or being rude (I'm guilty of this too) take 20 seconds to pray for the person. Who knows maybe someone else is praying for you.  .

Woo hoo The Amish are in Fullerton. My day is complete.

I'm on the train down to San Diego to catch a Padres game. Sitting behind me are two young Marines. They have their iphone on and they are flipping through songs. They stop on "Like My Jesus" a very powerful song. They played the whole song...disected and were talking about what an amazing song it is. They did not care who was listening and I just found it awesome. It is a great song but it was very awesome to hear two young men be so passionate about a song and the Lord.
