God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I can not change.
The Courage to change the things I can.
And the Wisdom to know the difference.

Yes!
The numbers are getting larger in the homeless community. Those that we have talked about before being so close to becoming homeless are now homeless. And twice that amount is now on the edge of becoming homeless. So much so the Christian Churches can not help. And your local government will not help. And the state Government is too worried about themselves. So where does a homeless person go to for help? Gosh! There is no where. If they go to Public.Action (to) .Deliver .Shelter. They can only take in so many people. And the rest will have to live on the streets. So far it’s been warm. But we may have cold before snow. And it could be a freezing cold. One that will take lives. So I guess you have no feelings for some one dyeing in the cold. Why should you? You will never live on the streets. And five years ago these homeless people said the same as your saying today… I would like to hear your thoughts on this. You can send us an Email to trinitynews@netzero.net Just let us know your questions, thoughts, or suggestions.If you do not have a computer to send us a note. Then use the one at your local libarary.

I was riding to work on the bike one day. And on the bike path I seen a young man by the River edge. Something with in compelled me to ride up to him. At first I said nothing, As I looked out over the river. I then turned to the man and mentioned how nice it was to just set and look out over the river. And how much at peace it is. He turned to me with a bit of a smile. And said that he felt the peace also. And that he came here often just to try to think things out. I told him that there is many places that I go to just think things out. But sometimes it’s just nice to talk to someone when the feeling warrants it. We drew quiet, and I started to move away. When the young man started to speak. He had put in a very difficult position. And he was having some real hard times with it. A sitution to the matter would not come easy.
He told me that his name was Eddie. And that he had fell into a scam. It seems that he was looking to move from his place of residents. Because of some things had happened. He had to take a lower paying job, so he could keep on working. And when that did not work. This girl he knew asked him to move in with her. She said that they could share rent. He thought that this could be nice, To be able to share rent and keep pretty much the same life style. So he had agreed in doing this. So he made plans on moving his things to her place. She had quite a big place with plenty of room. And he had his own bedroom and the other things would be mixed in the other rooms with her stuff. It seemed to be very workable. So he moved his things in the apartment. After a few months Eddie noticed that small things would not be found. He thought that they might have been misplaced. But as time went on more and more things were becoming lost. After a few months he had more things missing. Then he found out that the rent was always short as well as all the other bills. That more and more money and his items were becoming missing. And the stories that he received from his roommate were getting more unbelievable. He really tried to gather more money to pay up the bills his self and pay them direct but it had become too late. He even went out and sold some of his things his self-trying to save the place. But the landlord said that the only way was him to serve the eviction notice and the both of them move. Then he would consider renting to him alone. This sounded real good. But after the notice was served and he moved out. He returned to talk to the landlord. And he had changed his mind. So now he was on the street with his things in storage. Now he is working and the cost of the storage is taking a lot out of him. He is making $300.00 a week. And the storage is taking $50.00 a week. He has to eat. So the food bill by the day living in restaurants is around $20.00 a day. That will add up to $190.00 a month. ( To Be Continued)

Many students have come,
Some will stay,
Like a tree in good soil,
Brings forth fruit.
Some fruit falls before ripeness.
This fruit rots,
Some fruit will stay and ripen.
Bear seed,
Releases seed,
And some of this seed,
Will not act on what was thought.
And will waste away,
Other seed will take root,
And grow,
And be as the teacher,
The father and mother.
This tree has seen many harvest,
And has had its death in winter,
To be born into another storing.
To bear fruit,
For the harvest,
For you can only be one,
With your teacher,
Until the harvest,
Then you become one with thee!
Sunshine bright,
Such delight,
Day time games that’s right,
You need the son for sight.
Little Children at play,
What could I say,
About Today.
A very peaceful way,
The young girls smile.
Quite different in time,
Showing a sweet style,
That in silence chimes,
Sunshine bright,
Such delight,
Night time games ripe,
You need light for sight.
Older Children at play,
What shouldn’t I say?
About he way,
They love to dismay,
An older girl cry’s,
Very different in time,
Showing a sad style,
In silence she screams....
