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.

 

In Los Angeles and Ventura counties for the past 20 years, police and church representatives aggressively worked to stop Servants of the Father of Mercy missionary outreaches to the region's 80,000 + homeless. We were bullied with letters, raids, inspections, threats and police presence to stop aid consisting of food, water, clothing and spiritual care. An elderly man, 93 was imprisoned three times in Fort Lauderdale, FL for giving food to the homeless. Many other cities from Seattle to Miami have threatened homeless charities and civil servants that help the homeless. In Arizona, this grandmother was permitted to serve food in the park for weddings and birthday parties. However, it is illegal to give food to a poor starving person. At one point many years ago, Los Angeles was considering a law to make it illegal to give food and water to a migrant homeless person.

 

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WARMLY WELCOMED PHONING HOME . . . We just need a little encouragement to pick up the phone and call. I wrote a prayer for anyone that is looking to make a long distance connection. You will always be warmly welcomed no matter how long its been. #God #Prayer

Hurricane Ian's DeSantis Disaster - Helpless Homeless - Republican Hypocrisy

MEANWHILE . . .

Yesterday, every single Florida Republican in Congress refused to vote for Hurricane Ian Relief Funds. (No, sadly, you did not read that wrong.)

Meanwhile . . . After President Biden spoke with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the President increased and included additional Florida counties as major disaster areas.

DeSantis immediately turned around and is now using that presidential nod to go public, tug at hearts, deceive and make financial appeals where donation dollars are sent directly to his effort. The Governor and the party want the funds privatized. Therefore, DeSantis and minions may move BIG money with no accountability; supporting their campaigns and lifestyles.

That is why they all rejected the vote in Congress to help Ian victims with FEMA money. Meanwhile, thousands of Floridians are homeless and many families grieving death, dying and loss of businesses and stability.

But, the BIG BUT - Those suffering people do not matter. DeSantis has decided it would be impossible to self-fund-raise with FEMA money because it would be considered illegal double dipping.

But, what a concept? Republicans would be required to use FEMA money for Hurricane Ian victims.

Previously, in other U.S. FEMA situations, some politicians have been in hindsight, caught buying cars, taking vacations and using the money for everything but aiding disaster victims. Also, some have given victims inferior products and services in order to manipulate the money for self-gain. The potential for corruption of FEMA funds use was recognized some years after Hurricane Katrina.

Jesus said in Matthew 24/25 just before His coming, lawlessness, wickedness, lies, deception and lovers of self.

COSMIC KARMA!

When you really think about it, a few days, weeks or months ago thousands of regular people like you and me never knew they would instantly become homeless.

Many could not imagine their souls would take them through death, dying and the ultimate journey to another world, homeless and without their bodies.

On the streets, our homeless neighbors and those around us experiencing death and dying are a sign, image and symbol of me and you.

How we embrace them is cosmic karma, indelibly marked by God on our souls.
