I wanted to say how deeply touched I am by the words written about poverty and despair in the midst of our lives. Aren't we all truly caught in an inescapable network of mutuality? I have only recently come from a long period of being economically challenged, to say the least.(notice I dont use the word homeless) The conditions that are present when people reach this point in their lives are ones that have lasting and detrimental affects. It is called living in a state of despair. I have found first hand that our poor are forsaken, and even punished for not being a part of this so-called "win/win" situation of the free market world. Thank you for having a heart and for caring for your fellow man. God bless us all.
