Thomas Long tells the story of a father and son who went jogging in an urban neighborhood. The son was a seminary student, and the father was an inner-city pastor. About halfway into their run, they decided to phone ahead for a pizza to be delivered when they got home.
As they stopped at a public pay phone, a homeless man approached them, asking if they had any spare change. The father reached into the pockets of his sweatpants and pulled out two handfuls of coins. "Here," he said to the homeless man. "Take what you need."
