writing something new

I am writing something new...have written one page on a woman who is painting her house when the sun disappears. It's not a solar eclipse. And then there's a man she's having an affair with who wants to make love to her while her husband's not around.

Haven't figured out what the story's about. Will just let it run on its own and see what comes out. Fun.

There is a mentally ill man whom I meet almost every day as I walk from my car to office. He wears a tattered shirt and torn jeans with a huge rip just below his butt. I can see him talking to himself or occasionally, he'll shout and sing out loud in the middle of the road. It's really rather sad seeing him that way. He even sleeps on a dirt mattress on the ground, which I can't imagine how it feels like after a rainy day.

I wish I could do something, but the furthest I've gone is thinking about giving him a new shirt. Place it on his mattress so he can get it himself. Also thought of going right up to him and healing him in the name of Jesus. But that's terribly scary and he might just end up molesting me.

My heart and passion is for the lost and the sick, those whom society despises and are trodden upon. Although I lead a college cell, I'm passionate about those people, not so much college students.

How do I start? Not quite sure. I want to do something that has never been done before. There's already feeding centers in KL that cater to and have gospel-sharing with drug addicts and homeless people. I think I need to pray more, and operate less in the flesh.
