The Wearing of gold scarves was an idea that has come out of a group of people who have joined together to strive to bring awareness to the plite of B.C.'s poor and homeless, particularly those who sleep in the sanctuary at First United Church in Vancouver's girty East Side. Whether we support or oppose the Olympics, the efforts of VANOC have proved that we have the ability and resources to overcome massive obstacles and achieve significant outcomes. There are now a group of people starting to work on this project.
I have only worn my scarf to church and to Bible study and I am praying that the small group of people who are committed to this will have support of those who objected so loudly to the games.
I was thankful for a more peaceful day. The Bible talks about peace like a river and the soul that knows peace knows God.

What you need to do is get people in some far away place involved in Vancouvers homeless, like Melbourne. It is always more glamorouse to help those who are not in our back yard. And how does wearing the scarf help anyone?

Good idea Mom. Maybe I will buy one when I am down there next.
