Live for your eulogy
“God has blessed me that someone would come to me that was concerned about me and not interested in whatever bad places I had come from.
Ever since I’d known her, Miss Debbie offered for me to come to church here, but wadn’t no way I was comin here!”
Denver said, smiling as the mostly white congregation laughed.
“So she came and got me and brought me.
I tried to stall at the door, but she said, ‘Come on in,’ and she walked in here with me just as proud.
She was a real lady.”

“Mr.
Ron, I was captive in the devil's prison.
That was easy for Miss Debbie to see.
But I got to tell you: Many folks had seen me behind the bars in that prison for more than thirty years, and they just walked on by.
Kept their keys in their pocket and left me locked up.
Now I ain't tryin to run them other folks down, 'cause I was not a nice fella-dangerous-and prob'ly just as happy to stay in prison.
But Miss Debbie was different--she seen me behind them bars and reached way down in her pocket and pulled out the keys God gave her and used one to unlock the prison door and set me free.”
― Denver Moore, Same Kind of Different as Me
SEE the person, your divine appointment
Sometimes you successful folks can rise up so high reaching for more stuff that you miss knowing God.
But you can never stoop low to help somebody and have God miss knowing you
Denver Moore
Know yourself
The truth about it is, whether we is rich or poor or something in between, this earth ain't no final restin place.
So in a way, we is all homeless - just workin our way toward home.
Denver Moore
I used to spend a lotta time worryin that I was different from other people, even from other homeless folks.
Then, after I met Miss Debbie and Mr. Ron, I worried that I was so different from them that we wadn't ever gon' have no kind a' future.
But I found out everybody's different - the same kind of different as me.
We're all just regular folks walkin down the road God done set in front of us.
The truth about it is, whether we is rich or poor or somethin in between, this earth ain't no final restin place.
So in a way, we is all homeless - just workin our way toward home.

The Word says God don't give us credit for lovin the folks we want to love anyway.
No, He gives us credit for loving the unlovable.

“I spent 30 or more years in some of the most beautiful homes in the world, some of the most incredible art museums and institutions of fine art, sitting at dinners with collectors that were so interesting.
And then, one day, one man turned my life around, and I’ve never been the same since.”
And yet, he says, people still have a way of getting the wrong idea, more often than he cares to admit.
What it’s not, he says, is a story about a wealthy “art dealer millionaire that saved this poor, African-American homeless man.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
This man saved me from myself.”
Moore “became my mentor in life.
He taught me the way to live, not the other way around.
He saved me from being an arrogant, self-centered art dealer, to becoming someone who actually cares about the well-being of others.”
- Ron Hall
Be humble
He paused and stared down at the Bible laying on the bench next to me.
“Just tell em I’m a nobody that’s tryin to tell everbody ’bout Somebody that can save anybody.
That’s all you need to tell em.”
