  5. Where do I fit? What is my role? I can’t save every star- fish on the seafront but maybe I can throw back this one. Helping vs hurting. Spend money to give it- donate to missions trippers but not to panhandlers?

  6. “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35) “Receiving, I am beginning to realize, is a humbling thing. It implies neediness. It categorizes one as being ‘worse off’ than the giver. Perhaps it is for this reason that we tend to reserve for ourselves the ‘more blessed’ position” - Robert Lupton.

  7. Perplexed thoughts to Vague idea to action “When my motivation is to change people, I inadvertently communicate: Something is wrong with you, but (quite subtly) I am okay. If our relationship is defined as healer/ patient, then I must remain well and they must remain sick in order for our interaction to continue […]” Drawing by Nathan Schreiber for Jonathan Gruber’s (comic)book Health Care Reform “[…] Since one does not go to the doctor when he is well, curing, then , cannot long serve as the basis for any relationship that is life-enhancing for both participants” - Lupton

  8. “Ever wonder why your insurance premiums keep going up? The uninsured receive services that they often can’t pay for. The hospital or its insurer absorbs the cost. It can’t get reimbursed so that cost gets passed on to those who can and will pay. There are $50 billion a year in uncompensated care costs passed on to the insured in this country in the form of higher premiums.
