Help For Homeless
Neville said:

a very apt and timely post my friend.. a subject very dear to my own heart.. I held two clinics every week for over ten years at a local night shelter and soup kitchen... There are so many misconceptions about the homeless and most of them far from accurate.... what is a fact is that no one in their right mind sets out to become either homeless or addicted to anything... also, anyone can suddenly find themselves without shelter... there are various degrees of homelessness from those sleeping rough under bridges and shop doorways to those who sofa surf... many of those who are in this situation have mental health problems.... I was once homeless for about 6 months when a young man.. I tried to sleep in a local church but the vicar evicted me...finally, there are those who rise from rock bottom and make something of themselves... there.. rant over... a slight deviation methinks and an enjoyed one at that..

Very true Orchi, in this day and age homelessness should be non-existent, but those who have the money and power to do anything about it just do nothing except line their own pockets.

Orchi,

A fine hymn-poem.
I enjoyed the modern video! “We Three Kings” is one of the first English songs I learned as a child! It’s one of my favorites. My most favorite, of course, is “Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle”!
