We Need More Uninspired Christians | Real Spirituality.

Upon release, the family that cared for the children helps the parents integrate back into society. And they reunite the parents and children. I’ve never seen anything about that on Twitter. The contrast was disturbing: people humbly changing the lives of “problem” children versus . . . well, versus people just like me: Tweeting about helping the poor on a $200 iPhone with a $70/month data plan. Through books and blogs and tweets and conferences, we never have to leave the mountaintop. The Ordinary Radicals.
