Just found out that one of my classmates that I kept in touch with died alone in a hospital last month. We couldn't have been much more different, yet we could co-exist. She had a crazy childhood and I always felt sort of called to be part of her life and pray for her, despite her almost violent opposition to my way of life. Real compassion, not duty. Have you ever felt like that about someone? She was an interesting, funny, and disgusting person really, who partied til the end.

@daniel I'm sorry! I'm touched by this story. I think you meant a lot to her, but her brokenness made her act the way she did. I think it's sad that many Christians (including me) are raised not to be too much involved with non-believers. But how can we then be a light to the world, and be Jesus' hands and feet?
