Homelessness, a Problem Which Plagues America. The Richest Most Powerful Country in the World. Doesn’t Quite Make Sense, Does It ?

Homelessness in the richest most powerful country in the world? I admit it, I am not politically savvy, however I do see what is before me. Dallas is not the only major city in our country to suffer homelessness. It is in all of our major cities, including here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I feel as though I will weep when I pass by a man standing at one of our major highway intersections with the stump of what was once his leg, held up by a spackle bucket. A hand scribbled sign asking; HELP ME PLEASE, I AM A VET AND I AM HOMELESS. If I catch the red light, I exit my car and hand him a few dollars. He is so grateful. What he chooses to do with that money is just that…his choice. At least I know that I have possibly given him a warm meal that day.

Please seek out your local homeless shelter and place them on your donation list for 2009. Hopefully, you will continue to support the shelters efforts to alleviate some of these peoples problems. We’re all one. Their problems are our problems. The homeless need our help. Please be compassionate and generous. Thank you.

Congratulations President Barack Obama

May the good Lord guide you, protect you and your family,fill you with His wisdom and grace, encourage you to always seek out His leadership in all decisions, and may God, in partnership with you, lead us into being a prosperous, compassionate and generous Country.

Love and truth will meet;
justice and peace will kiss.
Truth will spring from the earth;
justice will look down from
heaven.
The Lord will surely grant
abundance;
our land will yield its increase.
Prosperity will march before the Lord,
and good fortune will follow behind.

The New American Bible
Psalm 85; 11-14

Please Don’t Forget

Please don’t forget our troops who are risking their lives at this moment to preserve our safety here in the U.S.A. Regardless of how we may feel about the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan, we must remember to let our troops know that we are still thinking about them and wish to help.
