do you know someone you think of as a good person? i've been thinking about "good" quite a lot lately and appreciating people who are just good to be around, good in communities, good in neighbourhoods, good as friends, and do good most places they go. i want to be that kind of person. it feels like we need to recover good, being good, doing good, working for good - not in some sort of holier than though way but in a way that is motivated by love of the world and people in it. it can have a bad rap - with labels like 'do gooders' but i think in my mind at the moment i am thinking - bring on the do gooders, let's have more goodness. i don't know where this thought will lead yet but over lent this year that's what i am thinking about probably. i have been reading proverbs which (depending on the translation) says some stuff about good people such as:
good people bless and build up their city
