Tim Tebow said we should do something about human trafficking. Jesus, today, talks about helping the poor.
I used to be able to check off that box by volunteering and then working with the homeless. Then, I quit that job and have not volunteered since.....anywhere. I think the problem might have been that I was just checking off a box.
I know I should do something for the handicapped or less fortunate or the children who face grave situations. And, yes, I do still sponsor kids from Compassion, but that's easy - money and a few letters. There's just not anything that excites me, that I'm passionate about, that I care enough about to do something.
Some would say I've become selfish. I would be included in that "some." I email people about volunteer type stuff, but then when I think about the time and effort - no thanks! All I really want to do is go to my job (and that's not really a want, it's more of a have to), come home, play some pickleball, and attend a few Raider games.
I thought it would just be a phase. I thought that after I quit the homeless shelter I would take a little time to "restore my soul", but it's been like four years. And even as I'm writing this I'm torn. I want to do something, but I don't want to do anything.
