Gospel tracts and homeless men

Within a short span of time I encountered representatives of two groups that make many people uncomfortable, though admittedly for different reasons: homeless men and the give-you-a-religious-tract-on-the-street-corner guy. The rub here--and why I bothered to write this at all, which most assuredly was not to commend myself for the twenty or so minutes I spent talking with some homeless men--is that when you get right down to it those of us who follow Jesus never have the right to pigeonhole anybody, ever.
