It is vain to try to build a house without God as the foundation.

Wow, time is passing so quickly! You have such a way of empathizing with people and helping us to feel what it is like to walk in their shoes. It is such a gift.

They wander the streets like animals instead of humans..The government needs more homes or farms for these men. Somewhere they can be helpful and gain more self respect. It makes you want to run out and find them and bring them home. I know my Ray, he goes into his own little world. Sometimes he can do jobs around the home and other times he lacks interest in everything. Its hard.Sr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-67420450749003555752012-04-13T02:23:17.248-07:002012-04-13T02:23:17.248-07:00A most heartfelt posm, sad to think that soldiers ...A most heartfelt posm, sad to think that soldiers who have served their country to give freedom to others is reduced to liveing on the streets.<br /><br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-24465527851328239682012-04-12T18:34:41.285-07:002012-04-12T18:34:41.285-07:00Very sad and touching, Susie.
