She almost had tears in her eyes when she told of the poor, derelict men who came for their dinner, first attended the religeous service and actually knew all the words to the hymns they sung. My dad laughed and explained that this is what the men did to earn their dinner. Most of them had been on the mission circuit so long they could probably have substituted for the minister if asked. None of this made any change in their chosen way of life on the streets, but a free meal is a free meal.<BR/><BR/>PS AARP magazine called me today to do a short interview about my entry for SinceSlicedBread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-1137177578924389542006-01-13T10:39:00.000-08:002006-01-13T10:39:00.000-08:00Blasphemer!

According to Pat Robertson, nature takes revenge on people who don't believe in God, or intelligent design, or white Christian Republican America, or the chosen people of the Holy Land, or the ability of every single individual, regardless of circumstances, to pick her or himself up by her or his bootstraps and pay for her or his own health insurance... <BR/><BR/>"Conservatives support laws and initiatives that will benefit them and their kind only"...sir, you had better prepare for nature's wrath!Editor at Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11466670903648209429noreply@blogger.com
