OUR WINTER WEARY HOMELESS FAMILY - 211 IS THE NUMBER TO CALL!

 

 

 

 

National Weather Service meteorologist Rich Thompson forecasts cloudy skies on Monday for Southern California and a 60% to 70% chance of rain showers beginning Thursday night and continuing through Saturday or Sunday.

"There's the potential for an extended wet period that will bring decent rainfall to the area," Thompson said.

Beginning Monday evening, a hard freeze warning for seniors, children, residents, pets and farm animals in Palmdale, Lancaster, Big Bear and the San Gabriel Mountains. Snow and flurries are possible at higher altitudes over the next week. Expect nighttime temperatures in the 20s and 30s.

The Los Angeles and Ventura Counties Homeless Services Authority has a winter shelter program available for those who need a warm and dry place to stay. Locations and transportation information are available by calling the County Information Line at 211.

On Behalf of the Catholic and Protestant Christian Church, I Must Apologize - Comparatively, We Have Done Little to Alleviate Your Suffering, Millions of You that Comprise Our GREAT BIG Homeless Family in America.

OUR FAILURE COMES DOWN TO THE SIN OF PRIDE THAT SAYS: "YOU ARE A LOSER, BUT I'M NOT! I'M OK, YOU'RE NOT OK!

The Sin of Pride, the Original Sin, the serpent said, "You will become like God, 'knowing'". A lie! Today the same sin speaks out from billions of us, "I'm right and you're wrong. I'm OK, you are not OK. You are immoral, but look at me, I'm not." Pride! The quickest way to join the serpent in hell.

Please be aware that many of us have tried to help you for decades, only to be put on 'trial' for helping the poor homeless by politicians and clergy. I am sorry to have to tell you that, but it's true.

1. Politicians in many major cities like Fort Lauderdale FL arrested homeless helpers volunteers like a 93 year old man for delivering sandwiches, food and water.

2. Dorothy Day was told by the then Archbishop of New York, "The city does not want you feeding the poor in New York City or West Village."

3. A California mayor threatened to put into law, "You cannot feed an illegal homeless migrant/immigrant under violation of law and arrest."

4. A very 'perfect' neighborhood sued a church for helping the homeless with a 'cease and desist order.'

5. A Cardinal issued a letter to hundreds of church pastors, "Do not help the homeless at your parish" for fear of lawsuits.

6. Jesus fed the 5,000, something the priests could not and would not do, it got him crucified.

7. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops gave 1% of their budget in 2022 to help Catholic Charities reach out to the poor and homeless.

8. As you can imagine, this list, persecution of the poor and making homelessness illegal can go on and on without end.

Again, I am sorry to tell you all this, however, there is good news. It may not sound like much, but it is because you all are like "Lazarus and the Rich Man." In this story, Jesus promises that those who suffer now, ignored by the rich will find for eternity in heaven - food forever along with streams of living water. Conversely, the rich have seen their reward now. After they die, it's going to be pure hell.
