Working over the years with those in need makes me understand a little of the thinking. Responsibility or obligation sometimes seems like foreign words. The meaning maybe is hard. I hear people say I don’t want an apartment, I want a house, and they don’t even have a job and have no intentions of getting one. Or they run out on payday and buy trinkets and don’t save for themselves. I find I can love them, pray for them, make sure there is a blanket or a coat. But I just cannot change the thinking. If you’ve been on drugs or alcohol for 25 years and you are seeking the Lord and trying to turn your life around, you must have patience and focus. Longsuffering has meaning. Again, you have to turn over control to the Lord and go by the Words in the Bible.

Is gluttony a sin?

I wonder if among Larry’s housing plans is to replicate what I’ve seen in other organizations working with homeless housing. They have built apartments/houses with private bedrooms and baths spoking out from the hub for community living, dining, kitchen areas?

Larry does an enormous work in the Dallas area and it always reminds me of all the abandoned &/or vacant buildings, staring out on the homeless walking Abilene’s streets. With so many such buildings in Abilene, I’m surprised we have even ONE person without a home. Could not a coalition of churches in Abilene help bring this solution to our homeless problem?

By the way, I’m also a fan of Joe Montana , Jerry Rice and Joel Olsteen if Terry can hook a brother up. Who wouldn’t want an autographed football, jersey, or hypnotic rotating globe in their study?
