War and children's mental health.

 

 

back to life

 Hey I'm back.

I've been busy chasing a dream, It's good to do that sometimes. Here's a taste of what I've been up to, A praise and worship song called "Walks On Water". Enjoy and sing along if the Spirit moves ya!

The people under the bridge

 On Lake Street families live in tents under the bridge

 It's heartbreaking. Families on the street because there's nowhere for them to go.

Right to Life

While our politicians square off about the right to life and the HHS mandate, I want to square off at the right to quality of life. Quality of life is a term used mostly in Psyciatric and Geriatric circles.

I would argue that hospice and homelessness fall into similar catagories. In both there is only the hope of further illness and death.

Those of us who find ourselves in luckier circumstance might consider quality of life an issue to be tackled as well as its right.

Everything and nothing changes

I see the sun coming up. I'm thinking of the warmer, less strenuous, days for the homeless. But their plight does not go away with the snow. They will still be in the shadows, hidden from our sight by our city planners and legislators.

Only we, as individuals, can know and help "the poor". They have names like "Mike" and "Larry". And faces like any other person living life with the hand that is dealt them.

This Lent I want to give change to the poor. And the change will be in me.

Change for a Dollar

From one of my dear Facebook friends... reminding me that it takes so little to do so much.

The Face of Poverty In The US.

15 percent of Americans live in poverty, the highest of any industrialized nation in the world.

How can we say it is not our problem? Christians how can we say, "The Lord bless you." and not give a blanket, a couch, or a damn?
