104. They are everywhere...
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 11:29 PM by Baby Snooks
They do what they can to keep the rent or mortgage paid and the lights on and food on the table for quite a few. They are stretched thin. Once a person becomes homeless there is little they can do. Not because they don't want to. Simply because they don't have the funds, or the political wherewithal, to do anything.

In most cities, even the suggestion of building or converting an apartment complex to house the homeless is responded to by the rallying cry of "not in my neighborhood" and there are churches who have had to deal with the rallying cry among their own congregations.

Even the Christians are having to deal with the "Christians" and their lack of any real sense of Christianity in this country that supposedly is a Christian nation. The reality is it's a "Christian" nation of "Christian" hypocrites.
