Hieroglyphics were written all over his face which matched the graffiti he plastered all over his beat-up Honda sedan. Even though he went to my church, I never really got to know him \u2026 until I invited his caretaker for lunch and Logan (uninvited) tagged along. Boy, was it an eye opener!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Logan.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Logan.jpg 432w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Logan-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Have you ever talked to a vagrant in the streets? I have \u2026 but those instances are few and far between. My very first encounter was an unkempt, moustached woman (in the college campus) who twirled her hair and constantly had conversations with herself \u2026 often with cigarette in hand. She never bothered anyone and nobody talked to her. We were insensitive and secretly called her the \u201ccrazy woman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, I drove a friend to the ER. While waiting at the lounge, a deranged woman screamed for medication while the nurses and the other guests avoided her stare. I wanted to comfort her but feared I would not be able to retreat to my privacy. I chickened out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few months ago (I shared here in this TGIF email that) a homeless woman found comfort in a discarded cushioned sofa. She was putting on makeup and lighting up a cigarette. Again, I had the urge to greet her but I didn\u2019t want to engage in a constant dole out for her addiction &#8212; an understandable (and often used) excuse, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">So as I munched my hamburger, Logan shared his troubled homeless life. He was orphaned because he was born with physical deformities. He was transferred and abused from one foster home to another. That\u2019s when he started his collection of tattoos and piercings. Like most self-mutilators, the physical pain countered the mental anguish that had become his normal reality. Internally he was shouting for attention so he could expose the injustice of his prison institution. But the more he disfigured himself, the more he became invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, just before he was to undergo metal horn implants on his forehead, he found Jesus. Someone actually stepped into his world and offered love. Fast forward to the present. Logan (who was surprisingly articulate) has since shared his story in countless occasions. Mister Invisible was now speaking in front of thousands. He has even flown to faraway places to share his adventure. I never knew he was quite a humble superstar. To be honest, he still suffers some physically and mentally due to the years of abuse but he is definitely improving. He has a strong sense of humor and plays tricks on his therapist. He&#8217;s a cool dude. He is currently recovering from a recent operation because his internal organs were not where they normally should have been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ffe4549c618dbcd7572895fe75cdad31\">SIDELINE: I apologize to some of you readers who squirm at the mention of Christ\u2019s name but this is part of his story. Because of that, in deference to you, this is all I will say about his faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dear friend who recently retired in comfort confessed he is bored and has been musing over what to do in retirement. Yesterday he called with an idea to start a program to help the homeless. (What a coincidence!) He had a novel idea to address this problem (I can&#8217;t share what it is yet) so I will be pulling some people together to see if this is a viable project. Who knows? Maybe this will be the start of something big. Maybe the invisible population will start to join the rest of society. Let me know if you are interested in participating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then, TGIF people!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/2024-ten-days-that-shook-my-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Scream-Head.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-618e002fad653ac12df83e2e26223f7d\">If you are interested, TRAVELING BOY has a first hand story about a man who was placed in a Mental Institution.
