Share-unite-with me, Arkansas X-homeless
Greetings
This is an effort to help those in need, like myself.
I am the owner of 20 Acres with a creek, and cabin.
I live alone, and am a servant of The lord Jesus.
I want to make contact with the lost and hated, by society.
I will consider sharing what I have with some of the Homeless.
So that together, we may be stronger, and help others in need.
Contact me at my email address if you know how I can help.

Yes, thank you Harmony, that's EXACTLY what I meant! I'm kind of surprised not to see any right-wing hate in this "thread". Did you have to delete any hateful posts?
I can just pray there will come a day when no one will experiance the pain of being homeless, Great photos, may there be a day these photo ops no longer are there
you wrote:
" Hi Harmony, I do not mean any offense, but how is being homeless great? PEACE, Yan"
As far as I can tell, I've never, ever claimed that being homeless was great. You may have been confused because, in Wolf's post, he kindly remarked that the Homeless Photo Album was great. (thanks, Wolf!) So it's the album, not homelessness- hope that clears things up, Harmony
There are times when our hearts get numb to the words but when you see these pictures, even the hardest of hearts can't turn away. These personnal stories are too important to be just cast aside, like most people do. The faces we see in your album could be any of us, thank you for continuing to tell their stories.
