Alright, get going.
You know, there's an awesome Mother Teresa quote,
when we all get to heaven, we're gonna owe a great debt of gratitude to the
poor
for having brought us so close to God.
And I really believe in my heart that that's true.
It's amazing that here in Austin and really throughout the United States, there
are an
extraordinary number of people
who have no place to live.
Much less even know what they're going to be able to eat
that day.
They're living in places that you and I would consider
genuinely not habitable by human beings -
alleyways
weekly rate motels,
urban campsites.
I really think it's my job to help fulfill the needs of these brothers and sisters
that we find on the streets.
Darrell, what are you doing, man?
Come here and give me some love, man.
What's up, man?
Yeah, absolutely man.
We go out with an abundance of tasty
food items in the truck and other things that human beings
really need.
The people that are serving and the people that are being served
are on the same side of the serving counter of the truck -
it allows for a human connection.
Ready?
You're my friend now, aren't you?
Who else wants hot chocolate?
When I see people out on the street in need
or I witness injustice in our society,
there's this innate sense within me
to want to go and do something, and I've never met anyone
who didn't have that innate sense.
And there's no question in my mind that that is God communicating
to us to go and do.
35 years ago, I'm in the real estate business, and I spent
25 years really pursuing myself and pursuing money.
At best,
I was agnostic. I know now
all along as I look back that God was pursuing me.
I begin to recognize that, and here I am
serving others because of God's
unrelenting pursuit of me.
Food truck's out here.
God
created man in his image. In his divine image,
God created man.
When I look at another human being that looks absolutely distressing, instead of being
disgusted by that,
I'm now open to the beauty
that that human being was created in the image
of God.
I'm looking at that divine creation, looking at God
himself.
Without any question, there's no doubt in my mind that there is a God.
At some point in time, we have to
transcend from what is not mysterious
to those things that are a mystery
and just say,
I believe.
