Jimminy Crickets!

It's 3f here this morning...with a wind chill factor of -6f...and I know it's colder elsewhere in the states.

Ohhhhhhhhh...I can't help but turn my thoughts to the homeless people in our state...or anywhere for that matter...in times like these! We are on a high alert to check on our elderly neighbors, and the authorities are trying to get all the homeless into shelters. We don't have any homeless around my neighborhood. It seems to be prevalent nearer the larger cities like Philadelphia and Allentown. It's so sad to watch the news and see a homeless man refusing help or refusing to be taken to a shelter...but preferring to sit on the air vents for the restaurants...on the sidewalks of the city.

It's hard to even believe that in this day and age...and considering where we live (the USA), that there are still homeless people!!!??? I wish this human condition could somehow be eradicated. It's hard to sit here, in the warmth of my own home, and not feel helpless and sad about it. Habitat for Humanity is my own personal saving grace. I know the good that they are doing to help the homeless and those who cannot afford proper housing. It's all I can do, from my little part of the world right now. Donate funds and time...and hope and wish we could house the world!

Well...as usual...I've digressed. Keep warm everyone (in the cold areas)...and check on those friends and neighbors that might need assistance!
