Day One - Bible Read as Freegan

This is my first day to practice the rules of being a Holy Freegan and
I surf to my daily Bible read and what are the odds that this passage
would kick off the adventure. The purpose of my being a practicing
Holy Freegan is to sensitize myself to the needs of others as I
prepare to visit Africa. God has a strong message here for me and
likely confirmation I am hearing Him in the midst of this craziness.

 1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat
down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely
say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be
glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they
persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Jesus
