a new breed

There is a new breed of people atleast in my province. The so called rich province. This breed is called the working homeless. I always hear people say that the homeless on the streets can always get jobs cuz there is a huge need for jobs out there right now. But how can you have no home and go to work each and every day? Who is going to put up with the smell. How is going ot put up with the lack of cleanliness. Where are you supposed to type up your resume? What if you don't have anything to put on your resume? And it is not just the already homeless that are affected.

It is normal everyday people. Someone close to me has become homeless. And I am truly worried about them. Land of the free we are called. But nothing at all comes free. No one can afford to live here. $900.oo for a 1 room appartment is not a good deal. Or you can move in to the skids, which I am not sure what is worse, that or living on the streets. Atleast when you live on the streets you have soup kitchens and toy drives that support you.

Where is the church in all of this. What about James 1:27....'Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
Where are we? Instead we turn a batted eye and we wait for someone with a heart for this type of ministry to come along. It is not just a calling on a few people. THis is a command from God. If you call yourself a Christian you have no excuse for showing favoritism. Just read James and you should be smacked. If you aren't convicted by reading James...check your heart and see what is in it.
