    No kidding, who whizzed in my cheerios. Since I'm batching it I blame the dog.

    We have been helping the homeless since I can remember and nothing has changed. The permissiveness that has been the feel good policy for the last who knows how long is a failure.

    People are frustrated and are beginning to demand that these people make some effort to help themselves. Google Denver initiative 300 (i would post a link but cant on this ipad). 83 % of people in Denver voted against turning their city into a santuary.

    You bums out there reading this on your taxpayer furnished devices - get the help you need and take the initiative to turn your life around.

    There I feel better.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.

    Not to throw cold water on an inspirational story, but it didn't sound likely that the elders would introduce a new pastor without already knowing who and exactly where he was...Snopes says they can't find a real Jeremiah Steepek, and that it likely never happened...However, some elements of the story may be true......Ben
