There's a guy named Rudy Carrasco and he is a paradox. He's enough of a misfit that I can relate to him. An orphan who went to Stanford and then re-entered the hood to help others find hope, Rudy is a pro-free market justice worker who, at one point, shared a house with another family in a communal living setting. Like I said, he's a paradox. He wrote an amazing article in this month's Christianity Today and you need to read it here.
"Doing justice by walking alongside people as they develop critical life skills is not exciting. Protesting on Wall Street against globalization is exciting. Getting arrested at the courthouse is exciting. Filling the National Mall with hundreds of thousands of people is exciting. But staying proximate to people as they learn lessons they should have learned years ago? When's the last time you saw that on cnn?"
