Some of our societal avoidance is shameful: cities throwing homeless out, shutting down soup kitchens, even charging permit fees to charitably feed the homeless.<br /><br />You know, when I was researching for this story, I pondered the old sepia photos of Hoovervilles. They were like poor villages, people in groups, from a time in history when more folks lived in small towns.<br /><br />So many of the homeless now are desperately alone.Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752008850353727106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387175950610926227.post-33881734181268939442014-02-25T08:17:03.097-07:002014-02-25T08:17:03.097-07:00RDR here ... all true and hidden in plain sight. I...RDR here ... all true and hidden in plain sight. I recently read an article of a woman who was evicted and froze to death sleeping outside; heart wrenching. I've been wondering if a "Chicken Soup for the Homeless" will be written but then again, the homeless would not have the funds to purchase it. It's all being ignored by MSM and many of our churches. Nonetheless, the Lord is getting the word out via alternative news sites (and your blog). Unfortunately, so many are asleep in front of their TV and computer screens. It's all being swept under the rug (outta sight, outta mind). Thank you for this truthful article. Those with jobs, warm homes and food aplenty need to remember "But for the grace of God go I."
