Faith and Fumbles writes, "Clifford Williams is chair of the philosophy department at Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois, and a hobo. If that sounds like a strange combination, it is. But then, Williams is an unusual fellow. A devoted Christian, he’s also a top-flight philosopher, having received his graduate training at Indiana University. But he’s not your run-of-the-mill, pie-in-the-sky thinker. Williams works to make “thinking” accessible to everyone—as a means for grounding them, for improving their faith, and even for preparing them for the reality we all ultimately face but don’t wish to discuss: death. It is this effort that has led him to pen a number of excellent books on Christian spirituality. When he’s not teaching, he’s actively involved in researching, writing about, and sometimes practicing the hobo life—a life once common in the 1930s, but today a near-forgotten piece of Americana. .."

Funny, I just read Luke 12, “Don’t worry”. Perhaps I need to be more of a hobo.

That would be interesting to see if that life style really works.
