It seemed like just another trip to Publix. I had a couple of last minute things to grab...
Without even a hint of notice, I had a brush with greatness.
There, standing in between the lanes of traffic holding a guitar and crooning out of tune was...Enrique.
Well, he was singing "hero" by Enrique...but the beard and pale skin tipped me off that it might not actually be the Latin pop star.
I was convinced for sure when he came to the window of my truck (which was down) and began a two minute long serenade of the chorus...over and over. "I can be your hero, baby..."
In all fairness he strummed the guitar two or three times.
It was hot outside, so i offered what I had; a diet Dr Pepper. He paused long enough to tell me, "No! I need beer!"
After two chants of "I need beer", he broke out into song again.
I'm not sure this guy was homeless. Honestly, he was dressed decently and well kept. I'm not saying anything about the person, but the situation is amusing.
Last night in our small group, we discussed chapter two of our Crown Financial Study. We were discussing good stewardship and the issue of giving money to homeless people came up. There were alot of mixed feelings, but the discussion was great. We are called to help the helpless, but it's bad stewardship to enable the lazy.
If you live in Miami or spend much time here, you know our homeless population is immense. The need is great to reach these people in need.
