I wanted to include a short profile of my friend Jean Sweeney in an upcoming book, but when Jean read it, she said I had given her “too much credit” for ministry to a friend.In typical Jean fashion, she went on to say she hadn’t been doing that much recently anyway… like helping women who were formerly incarcerated and are dealing with the difficulty of finding jobs, of reuniting with their families, of struggling with substance abuse. Like letting a woman live with her for weeks until the woman found housing.
Yep, to Jean, that’s “not much.” But to the rest of us, it’s inspiration to do better in loving our neighbors. Whose faith inspires you?
