Vagabonds

I recently began a post about vagabonds -- of whom there are many in the mix of urban ministry. It is a tough task, to deal with them and to know how to deal with them. But before I had finished my post, I met a familiar vagabond of years gone by. She was excited to tell me that she now lived in a small cottage, and her tenure was guaranteed. However, she was still living from hand to mouth. OBSERVATION: I am surprised, I think, when I see vagabonds step up a level or two. And her "kinetics" were good. Years ago, I saw depression in her even before I spoke to her. I picked up nothing now.
