Chapter Five: Sundays with George

Adam begins getting use to living as a homeless and jobless man. Sunday is the day to relax for all the men at Crisis Ministries. Many me go to church on Sunday; some only go there for the free clothes and meals. For Adam, Sunday is one more day to work and to make money. He works for a man named George. He does odd jobs at George's house; mostly he cleans up the dog poop in the yard. He feels that each time he tosses feces in a bag, he becomes closer to his ultimate goal: to have worked his way up from the bottom and to be living on money he himself makes. He later attends a baptism at a local church where he is offered free food. He realizes Crisis Ministries is the push along the right path that many of the men there never had. The next week, Adam looks for extra money. He hears about a place that will pay people to give their plasma. He is approved and his plasma was taken. He leaves the donation center and goes to a car wash where he is offered a job. He also has gotten a job opportunity at O'Charley's. He is happy that he has a steady job planned for that next Monday.
