If It Quacks!

In a Perfect World I wouldn’t be writing this, My Hope For Humanity isn’t only in the Hope of solving the Homeless Problem. In This Country It Goes So far beyond That I am Homeless and It is At the forefront of what I face In my own personal Struggle. And In truth I must admit the Homeless problem has Received Entirely to much attention from myself because anything I might say, Is Not going to Set aright the problems with the manner in which we have become accustomed to dealing with the problem and the very core of what we as part of the Human race are truly dealing with.
And That being by Our very own inability to call something that Quacks A Duck!
Homeless simply puts a face to the problem for those of us dealing with it, and In that I find great frustration because we have if we could get a count that is not in someway tied to funding somewhere in the range of  1-2 million people. excluding the pacific northwest where I know as Fact some of these people living in the woods out here homeless are never going to be counted. If we alone said enough is enough great change would happen. Imagine 1-2million homeless people moving to Washington in our tents and cars and sleeping bags and saying we aren’t leaving until,  lol never going to happen. because as a common people we too are divided by struggle each mans being His own.
It Is Bigger than Us, We in this country alone are faced with surmountable problems the least of being Homelessness, We have Child sexual slavery in America, We have a loss of the sense of community. We have A senate finance committee, That it has seen it as more important to spend research money on Making a better Bomb, More important than Increasing the the Agricultural yields per acre of land. And technology has advanced to the point of how to deliver the Bomb than has been spent on how to Make o fuel efficient plow. We spend More money Destroying and rebuilding other cultures than we spend on medical research, and  community sustainability combined. and yes we all do it because of our allowance, of others to do so, and our acceptance of it as our only option.
While stating I do not wish to drop out of society I just want to drop into one that is awake and not afraid to stand together. Because Something Quacks here and I am pretty sure it’s a duck!    

To All you homeless Traitors There I said It!!!

Homeless, By Housing and urban development and by all agencies dealing with The homeless Problem in this county is something that I have such a hard time dealing with, It has been stated that chronic homeless men and woman are the biggest benefactor of homeless aid in This country. I am writing this post Knowing that in the homeless Online community I am Not going to make friends with this post but It is going to be said. That is bull shit the biggest benefactors of Homeless help are Mission stiffs, people who go to missions to become a part of their programs and fell they must do what they call jumping through hoops to meet the requirements of staying in these programs and the Most money spent on the homeless, Is being spent in these programs. People come online and claim being homeless, or formerly homeless and presume to speak for all the Homeless saying we are giving a new face or we are giving a voice to the homeless.
If you are in a shelter If you are in a program if you are working with an agency getting federal funding to house you and others like you You are making it possible for the continued Profiting from men and women Like you and you are simply by saying these people are doing great work Screwing the rest of us and you have failed to realize you are only a very small percent of the homeless population who benefit from these programs I simply hope for your sakes you are found to be so blessed as to be part of that less than 19% that find success in these shelters and these Profit centers who have by there very intake process Eliminated those of us who might have there own opinion and not bend to the will of men who Go home at the end of the day to  the comfort of their 6 figure incomes, But I do Not wish for those people who are making it possible for these profiteers to continue any hardship I do understand feeling as if you had nowhere else to turn, But you need to know that by continuing to accept their beds and by jumping through all the hoops you leave behind you a great Number of men and women who fell short of meeting the requirements for Help maybe they where to Outspoken or unwilling to give up There Human right to housing For a Bed Or a piece of bread. But I guess it’s what you had to do right.
and I will tell you the truth if you are in a shelter every night And you have not had to struggle because you have a balanced meal served to you by staff and volunteers every night Your ass aren't homeless and you don’t know the first fucking thing about being homeless, But go on and sell your asses out but stop saying your homeless and stop saying that shelter you are at is a God send Because It is Just that you are being blinded by those Presenting themselves as angels of light. and these shelters you stay in are the reason why men and women die on these streets. The people living on the streets the ones that are dying from exposure and beatings There blood will be required at your hand because In your haste for comfort you left them behind when you jumped through that first Hoop. and you are not the voice of the homeless you are the voice of the help orgs. You find encouragement from them because you are their voice not because they give you yours. So don’t try to be a voice of suffrage because as I have both lived in and been on the payroll of shelters in this country I can tell you, You are Sheltered and You have it made. so Enjoy your bed Because Others Who came before you and will come after you will pay for it.
And For everyone else No I am Not moving back inside until we recognize Housing as a basic Human Right I will stay out here till I die Or I am Forced inside,because I will not Throw others under the bus for a house Because in so doing it will never be a home.

United States Policy On We The People.

"A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial. That is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.”
                                                                                         George Orwell.
Fortunately For Me Freedom Of speech Is Not truly yet Dead. I often Do Not lend myself to the world of politics outside of the homeless arena, I try to obtained from all appearance of Evil. As A Christian I am above Politics Now that may offend many Christians immersed in politics I however Must say I am Glad They are Offended. I do not understand How Men claiming to stand Behind God the Father Can stand Behind any Government that Cant feed or House its own people or tend them when they are sick, or when they struggle comfort them and can find the funds to Fly Half way around the globe to annihilate a people they perceive as a threat. A Christian Who Lives In fear Of others and spouting fear of other religions somehow have missed the victory you will be Hated By the world, Saints. Today we are deemed by all as people believing for the most part Us to be a Christian Nation. As A Christian I am ashamed that the United States is the best example of Christianity we have. Where more Money is spent on The defense of Gods people than on the care and the sustainment of or the enrichment of in the form of education or health care and sustainability of their way of life and all efforts Made by These leaders lend toward sustained consumerism and a sustainable bondage to the system of dependence and reliability on powers outside our local Communities. So without thinking to far ahead In politics we as the Most powerful people On the face of the planet A people with The ability to heal to work miracles In the Name Of father with all Of His creation at Our beaconing call we fail in that We Live Outside of The Family Of God we Greet Not Our sisters and brothers with a heavenly kiss because Hell lets face it we don’t even know who they are. We Can never be a Christian nation if we Cant Be a Christian Church We talk  a lot about we are but what we are is divided all of us claiming as he said we would here is Christ Or Here Is Christ and I believe you not. The Churches are Not a representation Of Christ In any way they are all working independent of one another and cant agree if Baptist Methodist Adventist or Lutheran are His true Children let alone if the Buddhist Or the Muslim Down the Street Has a Place in the Kingdom. My Question I guess To the Church And Christian Nation would be How Long will you  Allow the Perversion of your faith to Continue? Can we really spread Love with B1 Bombers and Poseidon or patriot Missiles? Can we best Spread Peace Through Violence? Will We win with bullets that average cost is more than that of a decent meal? will Our Love shine Through At the next splitting of an atom? Will we Become the World, Before The world Becomes Us?
And The United States Policy On we the People Is to Let Us Keep Our Heads In the Sand, And Live Our Lives Of Fear In the Best Possible Illusion Of freedom That Can Be created.
  

Sometimes the Simplest Things

Having coffee the other morning sitting outside and I had chance to meet a young woman who engaged me in conversation as many would say was just by chance Or happenstance, But as a man living in Gods mercy and grace I myself know that not to be true as I believe people when they make themselves available to the spirit are often found together right where God wants them too be at any given moment and there we were found she came to the carwash to vacuum here car out and when done with a simple smile and a good morning we began our conversation. Often times I talk about how the simplest things like a hello can mean all the difference to a man Like me.
We continued on in our conversation and I was able to relate to her as someone who while having a different life we walk in accord with one another she first simply spoke to me a good morning and how are you in which I replied I am well and I am Blessed. her reply to me me was simple and to the point. Are you a Christian? I said yes I am, to which she replied I thought so! and this was a beginning to a wonderful conversation. we spoke of The world the church and Our love of God and how so many more people need to walk in this spirit I spoke of how friends of mine had perished on the streets we spoke of how people are so wrapped up in their lives They often never have time for or the desire to converse with someone like myself and we laughed and together we cried me and this stranger that took the time to speak to me.
I know in the end it was a woman sent by my God and My savior for many reasons the biggest being she in know way judged me and she talked with me until her child was restless and ready to drive away without her As he was very small, we said Our good byes and we parted she went and got me lunch and brought it to me latter while I was sitting on the corner, and she gave me the gift of being able to bless others unwittingly as she gave me a subway gift card and it had twenty dollars on it now I have not seen her since and Her blessings on me did not stop there I have since our meeting and her gift to me been able to daily to share with others Gods blessings in my life because a simple footlong sandwich from subway will feed more than myself and I have been able to each day find some fellow wanderer that is willing to break bread and share her blessing too me with me, I am able to witness to them the mercy and grace and Joy given me by people like Her That God places in my life. Her Gift and her blessing to me was farther reaching than I am sure she and I was at the time unable too realize, But that is what I am writing about because while Her and I never gave it thought at the time, God did and He had us both Right where We were for that very reason.Her and I that morning came to agree that he was in the midst of our simple coming togeather.
Why Because He is.

We Go with what works people.

In the Last few Days there has been numerous articals and discussions on the issue of Homelessness and mental illness, and drug addiction. first and foremost let me say that not all homeless people fall into this category we do not all have mental disabilities nor are we all addicted and these are simply a small # of homeless people, however A large majority of homeless people have at some point battled with these problems both mental illness and addiction. I remember before I quit drinking 14yrs ago that in order to get through the drudgery of being homeless and alone I would often do what ever it took to get me to sleep or just make it through till the next day I have for years had a sleep  disorder stemming from the inability to get a good nights sleep for so long due to laws against it. but I live a life where homeless people are almost the only people I know, and in that I see there ongoing battles they face daily.
I am also very aware that a vast majority of homeless people are at present for one reason or another receiving a social security check for their conditions weather they be one of physical mental or drug disabilities. and yes I would go as far as to say drug addiction is in its purist form a mental illness. I watch as every month a person who has no chance of beating this problem alone are given money in the form of social security and food stamps and are set free to their own devises and in the first week of the month they have spent the monthly check they receive on drugs alcohol and cheep motel rooms there are many reasons for this the biggest being they are in an abuse cycle that has never been addressed. we simply have said Ok here is a check for your addiction or illness and we believe this somehow justifies our neglect of the true problem at hand.
But ask yourselves something is it of any help at all to a addict or a Mentally ill person to think that if we just give them money it will go away when they are still in a cycle of abuse or have withdrawn from society because of their condition?
We are in a sense simply trying to put a fire out with a can of Gas!
The problem with all of it is we are screwed up from the floor up we have so many misconceptions of what we are dealing with we talk about providing affordable housing as if that will solve the problem but we continue to see affordable housing in terms of subsidized housing and this is wrong affordable housing is just that it is housing that independent of any outside source a person of low or fixed income might afford and not have to be subsidizes to reach affordability, we have also a belief that everyone should be in this category or that one, which does not allow for the individual needs of people. We have set up a system of social help programs which by their very nature keep people in the bonds of abject poverty. If you are addicted Or mentally ill we place you into a section 8 housing project where as an addict you will find yourselves in the seediest most drug infested neighborhoods, and if Mentally ill you are in these same section 8 housing developments facing isolation and fear and no outlet for self discovery outside of those with whom you have been surrounded by. with no continuum of care.
In short we think that if we continue to throw money at the problem it will just go away, and it has for years evaded the very best minds, why because these minds while being the best have a one sided view and they are the ones with the ability to throw the money in what direction they choose. We are faced with a problem bigger than most people are willing to admit, It is one of out of site out of mind if we hide the impoverished and seclude them to a certain part of society then as long as there are none in our neighborhood they do not exist If we give the homeless and addicted and downtrodden a check or a house they will simply go away. what about Jobs What about the ability to pursue happiness what about the right of the individual what about our ability to better our lives, what about this society that not just on this continent but around the globe that views the degradation of others as simply the cost of doing business. how screwed up are we that we think that it is Ok to give a drug addict a check for His addiction rather than treatment for his addiction what is it that makes us give a mentally ill person a check instead of a doctor? It truly is the hope of those administrators that with enough money they will just go away. and it in a sense is working. because Little known facts like every month between The 1st and the 10th we lose 1000’s of people on social programs to the infirmities that got them there in the first place, drugs, alcohol, depression, anxiety and mental illness. yes 1000’s in this country seems insignificant But it is doing what as a people with all of our talk and all of our plans can not do it is taking care of the homeless problem a few at a time. Yes Giving a check to a drug addict has gotten more people permanently off the streets than the Department of housing and urban development ever dreamed of.

What Are We (Homeless)?

People in general When having the conversation want to express in terms something that will define the Homeless person. The Term Homeless, most are comfortable with I however don’t think it is as easy as a word to define a person, However we the ones living this have no choice as in many things we are simply told this is what defines you. I don’t care if you use any term it does not in any way define who I am. The titles and words you place on me simple define my living condition and in no way shed light on the who I am. The fact is in calling me anything but a Fellow man you somehow set me apart and keep me separated from others simplifying peoples own need to maintain the wall of separation that keeps us from coming together in unity. After all Who really want to be equal to a homeless man Right!
In calling me Homeless You make available the opportunity for the rest of society to view me as someone different a man of values not like others and of a life devoid of any human element. I am by terms set apart from the society, thereby justifying any action that is taken to fix my problem.  And Never does anyone think to ask me or others who they really are, and if We might have dreams or ambitions of our own It is just assumed that we are a homeless person and we need a House.
So I would like to just give a little bit of clarity to the situation, when dealing with people deal with them as a person not as a homeless person deal with them on a level of understanding that they are no different than you they are simply people who don’t at the moment live in a house, But we are men and women of dreams and aspiration we are capable of every emotion and feeling that any feel, When we get Cut we bleed when we are Hurt we cry when we a happy we laugh. We however in most cases as each and everyone in this world are unique and we are individuals.  People in general when helping us take the approach that we are broken helpless hopeless individuals with no true direction in life, we are merely on a different path. Yes some of us want a house yes all of us want the comfort of food today and yes we at times wish for the things others have the safety of a place where we can be at peace.
But we are not a sect of society you can put all in the same Box we don’t want to all be the people that live next door, I mean lets be realistic most of you don’t know your neighbor, and most of you that do cant stand them anyway If you must transform me to be like you is it for me to feel better about me or is it for people to feel better about themselves? I will Love you for who you are in all your uniqueness. I do not covet Nor do I want what you have, what I desire is for everyone to accept who I am and not feel I need to go in the Box with others Like me, I don’t want to be separated I want to be Me.
If you will all scroll back to the top of this page you will see a title that says this Homeless Life, Believe,  However different than yours or those around you I do Have A life.

The Number One Problem with being Homeless!

My Biggest fear, That now as many more people daily join the ranks of homeless the idea of  providing housing of 100 50 20 or 1 housing unit at a time will continue on. Being as ineffective or more so because of the swelling number being added to our population daily. If we are in any way going to effect the ability of Men and women who are facing this struggle to change their lives and find a sustainable manageable way to keep themselves and loved ones sheltered and fed. We must first recognize the real problem that the homeless person faces.
The Number one problem with being homeless is, not a house. It is the inability of millions upon millions of people to see it as a societal problem and not one of a person and Their misfortune.
We live in a world where the interest of corporations and governments far outweigh the needs of the people. Where Men can be denied the use of lands they were born on, for what is presented as protecting the environment, or as a common good for all people(imminent domain) when only a select few truly benefit from these regulations Or environmental protections and the people really effected by the decisions of their governing bodies, face suffrage because of unsustainable lives in which we have been all forced to endure at the threat of annihilation  by our fellow man. simply to instill fear and rule over men.
If your Governments and policy makers in your lives could truly protect us there would be no poverty problem in developed countries. We in America would have already achieved sustainability and Our citizens would not be living in third world conditions on this continent. But we in America Live in a world of Isolation and one given direction by national media outlets, corporations and local, state, and national political interest which are now geared towards the continuity of governance rather than the continuity of life.
And the citizens of this system are simply trained to believe that the impoverished and the less fortunate in our society are simply victims of life and the failing economic times or disaster, when the real disaster is that Man has become an indentured servant and believes himself to be a tax payer and anyone outside this system is viewed as criminal non productive and a drain on the economy, a non contributing member of society.
So if we are in any way going to win this battle of homelessness it must not be in the concentration of our efforts to simply supply People with homes, But let us recognize people first as equal Human beings afforded the same right and protection as any and let us make our governing bodies first recognize the ability for people to lead productive sustainable lives as A Human right common to one and all.

He will Lead Me to the Kingdom

I have because of the way That I live often been biased or critical of many, I have often been a harsh critic Of the Church, That is to say Organized religion. In the saying of this know that it is only Born of my experience in dealing with the church. I praise God for the ability to recognize Him in those that serve Him. And I also Praise Him for the ability to know those whom do not serve Him.
So it is not all of the Church Or all of Gods people with whom I have become this harsh critic of rather it is those that serve Him to their own ends, It is this that I have come to realize how I am blessed in ways many can not understand, I have been delivered from the hand of the oppressors of Gods people I am no longer availed to those that seek to serve themselves on the backs of Gods people. I am free from this burden of illusory piety. I know in my Heart Gods word is true and Is Good and Just and is for us as Gods people the only truth by which we must live. and that there is nothing I have not experienced that was not foretold of in His word. My suffrage is a small thing in compare to the suffrage of others. God tends to the needs of me as much as he ever did the people of Israel in the wilderness while my manna does not fall from the sky and my water flows not from the rock struck by Moses, I am at all times provided for By God Almighty. He will If I let Him lead me to the Kingdom, For I am His Child. He in no way will forsake me. And any indignity I might face in this life Is nothing in compare to Him having suffered the indignity of the Cross at Calvary.  And In all of my ways and all of my judgments I in no way am able to change the fact that I am less worthy of His mercy and His Grace than any man. I am Just a sinner and am granted mercy By Him who knew No sin having come to be sin for me that I might be delivered from this flesh having walked in sin from the springing forth from the womb I am unworthy.
So I continue On and I pray for Gods people and I lift The ministers of the Gospel In prayer and I pray that the Church find it’s place and that being in the kingdom and not in some building or some synagogue or sanctuary. I pray for the Church That has been deceived that God Bring them to an understanding of Him and His word. I pray for Gods people that They might listen to the calling in their lives and to answer that calling and I know that God Is bringing His Church One of Men and women of God, and Not some building to a Greater understanding of the Ways of the Kingdom. God Has no need of a building God will Build His Church In the Hearts of Men. And I have seen it Gods people reach out To the Hearts of others And No sanctuary, No Temple, No Glass cathedral, Can House and Hold God the Father, He will However House Himself in the Hearts of those That diligently Seek Him.
I simply say To one and all Beware the False Church and those Giving instruction in the doctrines of devils, and Know If you believe Christ, Being Born Of God Who knew no Sin Died and was Resurrected, For Your sin, Than You have no need of A Church More grand Than the One in you.
If you are In a church It is Your responsibility To ask are we as a people doing Gods work, Because It is my experience that Some Shepherds are wolves in Sheep's clothing, and Christ Warned Us all Believe them Not.
Luke 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division

God doesn’t answer Prayer here this is a Church!

Once Again I have been asked to leave a church for reasons only the Pastor might know, I was Not really in shock or awe over it I was more expecting it It seems what with all of the homeless and needy people in this country it is only fair that the church be able to protect itself from all the needy people.
I do believe however that Parkway Christian fellowship in Grants pass Oregon, has taken this a step further than most Church’s as They On their office door have a sign that is very clear.  “ we provide emergency assistance and help through, Christian alliance, there # is (---)--- ----.call them for assistance. No soliciting.”
http://www.parkwaycc.com/
Now, as It was beginning to rain I gave no thought to being a problem to the church just to sit and wait for the rain to pass and In that Druid and I had a seat and began to talk when we were asked to leave I had felt as if it were going to happen However that the man who would ask someone to leave would be driving a 40.000 1930’s coup I did not expect.
But I in the same respect don’t often look in the building of the church. For my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have found so many living out here in this same life homeless, in need, and bound together with the inhumanity found elsewhere. But having found that common thread that binds us all and that is a desire for what is right and just for all and not just a select few. Men and women who are like myself and Druid are a blemish to the established Church in my opinion because with the likes of us sitting out of the rain under there eves and overhang’s mar the very foundation of what they deem the church. But when God says To us You have robbed me in tithes and offerings was talking about these men and women who call themselves a church. Yet refuse to even speak to one of Gods children because of His State in life. Many people would in my shoes look at the situation differently, Let us take Druid  The Mans very name Cry’s out of not being of the same faith as myself or those in this Church, however between the two of us the lines are lifted by our common bond of oppression and our poverty and we see each other only as fellow men.
I do not judge Him by His Celtic walk or His spirituality or by His belief, I do know that being thrown from the sanctuary  together we were viewed as being no different equal. My only hope is not to be viewed as this manner of Christian in the eyes of others I am confronted always with the distaste for the Faith in that the majority of those claiming it have this same air of righteousness about them they see others as less worthy of these blessings they perceive to be from God.
Gods Blessings So the Church Might know do not come in the form of riches God did not supply anyone in the church a car to drive around that is worth more than a mans life of comfort, a 1930’s coup too park before a sanctuary were men are cast into the rain rather than ministered to was Not I assure you Gods Plan for the Church.I Know that the Car that was parked before that church could house more than two men and is simply a symbol of what another man perceives as Gods blessing In His Life. It is a sad a simple thing and your fruit manifested this way is One of the World And not of the Spirit Of God. So I will keep this Church in prayer And Ask you do the same because I would they come to realize, " That which you do unto the least of these you do unto me” was Directed at us the Church. And Druid  for those of My Faith That act in the world and not the spirit, I ask you forgive them they know not at anytime what they do. Judge those of My faith Rather in the common ground that we found and let them be blessed.

Gone fishing. Love Joseph

There is a lot to be said for a sunset on the Oregon Coast or anywhere I would say, but as this one was too myself long over due were I could just sit and reflect and not have to worry about so many simple things, Being homeless almost any place in this country is so much more difficult at least for me because Here I can not suffer any indignity because of hunger It is almost as if When I get to Oregon Food Almost crawls from the waters and the woods onto your plate. with little effort, No more daily drudgery of can I eat today or sleep without fear of harassment it is given man has to sleep and eat and here he is free to do so, A cook fire Here is as common as a stove in the eye’s of most people.
I won’t be as blessed as others to have internet everyday or some of the other amenities others have but I was able before coming to town today to jump in a river and bathe and off to town I went first time in years I have sleep in the woods without the dogs and I must say a little unsettling at first, The is a lot of creepy walky’s out here the creepy crawly’s I don’t worry they are littler definitely need to start thinking in terms of a tent to make myself look less appetizing than laying on the ground. I have the difficulty also of finding more fishing gear as mine was stolen from someone’s boat over the winter. I do however still have a couple of crab pots and a net so I will not starve. With the Morel mushroom at $13 a pound at market and something you can pick up all over the forest floor times are priceless. So Fishing gear should be replaced in short! Till then I am on borrowed Rods, limited tackle I'll have to Outsmart Them But hey Their Fish!!
So I do wish all My friends were here and I am hoping this finds you as blessed as I am Brookings and Crescent city today and The Sabbath In the woods do have the blessings of still having cook pots and coffee pot seems thieves who fish apparently don’t also cook or I would be in the market for a camp kitchen too. so if you are in Oregon anytime soon, and the Lord Be willing where ever I may be You are welcome at my fire for a Hobo meal and what little comfort He might provide. For directions or Phone Contact  joseph2dogs.Gmail.com everyone welcome.

The Day No Man Knows. ( The Rapture)

Mat 24:1  And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mat 24:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mat 24:4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8  All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Mat 24:10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
I believe I have lived through this the beginning of sorrows when any Man with a pulpit,podium, or world stage, might come and say Look Here, Here Is this Christ Yet His true Spirit Is In them Not found, and there  have been earth quakes in Divers Or unknown Places Where as never before the earth groans as if in travail all of Mankind Cry’s out because of wars and rumors of wars and nation has risen against nation, false profits have came forth and you and your children have been delivered up without mercy to be killed in there endless wars and all of mankind Has come to hate each other and the Love of Many has waxed Cold.and the Gospel Of The risen Lord Jesus Is spread unto the ends of the earth. This Being Said As I a Simple Man,View His Plan We could not possibly as Creation Of My God. Be any closer Than We are to the Very Kingdom of God Unfolding before those that truly believe.

Mat 24:15  ,When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
Mat 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mat 24:23  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25  Behold, I have told you before.
Mat 24:26  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28  For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Mat 24:29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mat 24:32  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mat 24:35  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mat 24:36  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
I admittedly know not the day but I believe that To us Here Now Is this generation of Man. the kingdom is At Hand  And I am speaking As Me The Body Of The Church, And you Know If we Had Six Years Collectively Could Not Prepare for The Tribulation To Follow for people who thought they had faith but where wrong. World Hunger,  World War, World poverty, World Wide Class struggles, No Doubt In Any True Believers In  Mind That Even though the Hour we Know Not, Nor does The principalities Or The Powers In which we Fight against,  But Today is the day to put on the whole armor of God. So That Until Then And Then We can Be prepared. I now as a church am Ill prepared and am Caught like a woman in winter in travail. In The Blink Of An Eye.

Mat 24:37  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:40  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Mat 24:43  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 24:44  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Mat 24:45  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Mat 24:46  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Mat 24:47  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
Mat 24:48  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Mat 24:49  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Mat 24:50  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Mat 24:51  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
This being my belief we should be Like Harold saying the time is at Hand we might have 6 Days Or 60 Days The Lord Is Coming Church Let Us be Found walking On His path watching For Him always And knowing We serve Him If we only have 6 minutes. Let Us If It be 6 minutes Be found In His Perfect Love He Is  Jah  The sacred name, Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah, Lord Most Vehemently.
John 14:1  Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:2  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:4  And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Even so Lord Jesus Come. 

Another feeding of the beast.

A project to convert the former Michigan Bell Telephone Co. building in Detroit to housing for the homeless is nearly $2 million closer to achieving the  $50 million needed to renovate the building.
This morning, a $1.9 million Department for Housing and Urban Development grant was announced for Neighborhood Service Organization, which is spearheading the project.
“This grant will have a significant impact on our efforts to end homelessness in the City of Detroit.” said Sheilah P. Clay, NSO’s President and CEO. “We feel extremely fortunate to be receiving such generous support from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for our work.”
Officials say the grant is the largest ever awarded in Michigan for new homeless programs.
NSO's project will create 155 one-bedroom apartments and support services to help stabilize formerly homeless adults, along with administrative offices for the private nonprofit human service agency.

$1.4M in federal grants to help house homeless

By The Associated Press
Published: May 8, 2011 at 7:31 pm
The Maricopa County Association of Governments says it has been awarded $1.4 million in federal grants for three programs that will provide more housing for homeless people.
The grant money comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The county association of governments says the money will provide 52 units of permanent housing for homeless individuals and people in the region.
The group says that overall, more than $219 million has been awarded to providers in the region for more than 56 programs providing transitional housing, permanent supportive housing and supportive services for the homeless.
These are Just two of many examples, Of what Is this Homeless mans opinion a waste of federal funding and in is also simply a way to provide the providers with job security. In the first article which can be found at mlive.com it tells a simple plan to build a permanent supportive housing complex. and pride themselves on the fact that it will house in one bedroom apartment units 155 homeless individuals and its concept also will house a private non-profit organization. No where in the article or in the proposal submitted to HUD for the Grant and public funding received, does it tally the cost as being over 300,000 dollars for each of the 155 1 bedroom units. am I the only one who see’s this and think it to be insanity at it best?  I also find no hope in knowing that these are the people who are advocating what is best for the homeless population of this country it is the practice that keeps homeless people homeless and keeps the money flowing.
What I do know that the American people have been deceived in that they freely give these organizations an ability to exploit the largest growing sub sect of the American population today, the homeless and impoverished. and it is done because people think projects like these all across America that are absorbing the funding which should as allocated be going to help these homeless and impoverished peoples of our country.are our best alternative.
What I also know is that I with a 10th grade education and a lifetime of experience as a homeless individual in America, can with my limited knowledge of finance today buy and build a single family dwelling, on a one acre tract of land for less than 60,000 dollars. so where is the logic in spending 300,000 dollars to build a one bedroom apartment in a economically crippled city such as Detroit where as an end result you are placing people at risk because they have now become part of a HUD project, which to date has only served any community in the concentration of impoverished people to a undesirable section of our cities. Hence the term “Projects” 
Hud is by practice a defunct and antiquated organization , which has failed the American people by continuing to allow these embedded non-profits to continue to operate devoid of results. For decades. the people most likely to bury their head in the sand and fight the hardest for it are those who along with HUD and Non-profits are those who really just want the homeless population of this country to not be seen or heard from and think this is the best way to achieve that. Me a 50yr old Homeless single male has a better chance of hitting the lottery than I do of ever seeing the inside of a 300,000 one bedroom apartment, And I don’t even buy lotto tickets!! 

Affordable Housing ? Fact or Fiction

To often I have to explain things I say In that I forget I am often addressing people who have never experienced homelessness. And the polarity this life has in compare to that of those people who live inside. I am a blessed man To have been afforded the knowledge of both worlds. I said that I was on the first of every month faced with a deep since of loneliness, I am often saddened by the realization that many of my homeless friends receive some form of income from SSI,SSD,SSDI, Human recourses general assistance grant, and are doing what they do.
Many of these friends Do have addiction problems with drug or alcohol, that I do not deny, I always hold out hope for them when I finally realize it is the First of the month and the herd is thinning, that I might in my next hearing of them find they are taking steps to get out of this drudgery. and usually found to be disappointed in that when the money is gone they are back on the streets. I am always questioning the practice that Has taken place since the early 1990’s of federal Government through the social security administration, made available for anyone with an addiction problem the ability to get paid for your addiction, and the reasoning behind Giving a junkie a 700dollor check on the first of every month, My grief comes from knowing that all across this country amongst the men and women I live with some of them are not going to survive the next few days. Because of this practice. But Knowing That for them There is no available alternative.
I do understand that on the first of the month when they get money it is the few days in their lives that they are afforded the comfort and the dignity that most people not living a day to day existence can ever understand as most people don’t know what it is like to be degraded or refused service at a fast food restaurant, because they need a shower or clean clothes. So for this few days they try to live lives like others they get a motel room and as checkout day draws closer the depression they face knowing that soon they will be back to the harsh reality of the streets and fell it is somehow their fault that there is something wrong with them, Because the money they received is gone. They feel this way because this is what they are told and its wrong. yes they get a check and yes they spent it on motels and being what others told them they needed to be to be normal.
The inherent problem with this cycle is this the money most receive, is not ever going to get them off of the streets because there is not in this country the availability of affordable housing, and people are confused to what affordable housing is and here is a news flash affordable housing does not mean section 8. affordable housing means that tomorrow I could go to work as even a greeter at your local wal-mart and rent a home for the pittance I receive. It is not going to happen, I would have to work a 126hr work week at minimum wage to rent a place of my own. There is no way one can do it for the amount they receive from Social Security, So God Bless My Homeless Friends In there Week Of Humanity Because Next week They Must Again Come back out here and face Mans Inhumanity To Man. On these Street.

Celebrating The Death Of Osama Bin Laden..

I am this day amazed at how people calling themselves Christian Can Come together and Praise The killing of another. according to the whole of Christendom people are speaking about how he deserved to die for His crimes and For the lives He took it seems that the biggest crime committed is overshadowed by others desire to come out on top in this world to have their actions overlooked as less than that of their fellow man. Know that Osama Bin Laden Has this day been as some would say brought to Justice.
Where will Our Justice come from? what Have we done that would reserve for us a different Judgment do we Know the hearts of Men and Do we stand in Judgment over them and take the Place of a Loving merciful God Do we now dictate the will of God as It pertains to others What is it that Makes one mans sin greater than Others are we not all deserving of Justice. Where you not there in your sin driving the nails into the hands and feet of our Lord, were you not present when He was pierced by the sword, did He not ask Father to forgive them that they knew not what they do. And Did He not say unto us all to Love Thine enemies and to pray for them.
There are Men and Women of all faith’s that have by the evil that is in this world and the slavery and oppression of their people done horrific things and been deceived in that all they did they did believing as if it were unto God. The greatest atrocity ever to have been faced by man was done out of ignorance as we see today by people believing that God is on their side and it has been so since the beginning of Mans Rule over Man, always Knowing God is on their side. The Christian Crusades killed millions done so to bring the world to God! And the world is No closer to God than The day we were pitted against each other by the ruler of this world.  It is A Christians Duty to seek out the truth of what Gods word has for them, and it is not an instruction manual to act as The Harbinger of Justice for God. God Is In us all The Christian The Muslim The Buddhist All Of Us Yes even Osama Bin Laden Are creatures and the creation of the most High God, Yes even those who do not believe in God, Are His creation!
Satan Is the ruler Of this world It Is This, That keeps Men fighting Over Who’s God Is greater and Men and women Who are Faithful People refuse to see that the worlds standard is not the standard of God, The world Is under the rule of Satan and I see it at work everywhere. I Ask Myself Often Why do others Not see it?  Why They Do not is because they follow blind Guides Pastors Preachers Monks Teachers who Are now praising The death Of a Man as the work of God. The God I serve Is A God Of Life, So I pray for all and Of my Faith, I pray the Most for them who Proclaim To know My Lord, See that It was Times like these that He said Of which If You Love not Your Neighbor Wherefore is the Love of God In you! Pray for Your enemies!
Man May Proclaim Acting Out of Goodness, But Know You to Brothers and Sisters You Also Where at one Time At Enmity With God. And It was Not In your Power To Change It We all at a Time stood in Danger of This Judgment.

I Had Hope,Where there is none.

I am as you know a harsh critic of Homeless Help organizations and often those that espouse their belief’s in them, I have been often chastised by others for my unyielding belief that the, people who are most credited for doing the most good are the ones doing the most damage to myself and to others like me. I read at least once a week that there is some new group or agency or person who for the sake of the homeless will venture out into the night and spend it sleeping rough like so many of us homeless do. God bless you for your efforts but know you in no way are drawing awareness to the problem it is one that everyone is well aware of. If you would like to draw awareness to something figure out a way to draw awareness to the fact that Nothing is being done, with the millions and millions of dollars allocated to the problem.
There is by no small chance a great number of us homeless people who are not a part of the shelter system which we now have it affords one with very little human dignity and is a failed system which a man must first forego his belief’s and his dignity for even the simplest of services, A shower food or A bed. The same view is held of Help services in general because this is often the case, Rather than give the person needing the help the choice or freedom to make decisions for themselves we rather make their life decisions for them and tell them this is what is best for you! And for this and the unyielding belief that it is what is best for everyone that we model our outreach efforts.
But It is in its present form what we have,  I am sickened by the fact that people say affront we must change this we must do something new and innovative we must do the new best thing we have deemed as best for them and in that they are praised. I am by far not a stupid man. My only stupidity lies in the fact that I honestly have believed in telling people look the people who are saying, look what we are now doing, they keep doing the same thing They profit from the homeless people. often I have often been asked how can men profit from the homeless? I have explained it in almost everyway I know how. and have reveled to people that it is done by the same people over and over in the form of federal block grants and community development grants. I don’t care if you change your organizations name on an annual basis rather than every four six or ten year period. Since the modeling of the shelter system and the move into the supportive housing industry, which took place some years ago 1990-1996 and the inception of the 10yr plan to end homelessness thru supportive housing, the homeless men women and children of this country have been used as a form of tax credits for non-profit corporations.
I also contend there is no such thing as a non profit organization. If these people continue to be allowed to operate and to absorb the public funding and the private sector donations the problem will continue and these organizations will be allowed to continue to thrive every year building some grand new office complex or some grand by design 200 bed temporary shelter and the population of homeless men women and children will continue to grow at an exponential rate. I do know that there are many people who are reading this that are in know way thoughtless people I know that anyone can look into what is being done and see for themselves the truth, However it does not happen people continue to sing the praises of these organizations who by there own admission for the past 2 decades have been trying their next housing model and in no way changing their approach to the problem, I am Just tired folks I have Tried To reach just one person that might hear my plea, and in my endeavors I have failed.
All the love in the world can not fix the problem we are faced with, we are faced with the lie That what is being done is something that has not been done before. And to those who have not been in some way  associated with the homeless help industry for the past 2 decades it is something new to someone who has been around homelessness most of their adult life it is the repackaging of a system of failure. And believe Me when I say it is not a failure to help me, As Far as Homeless men women and children are concerned it is expected, and Yes a select few individuals have been helped by these organizations the overwhelming rate of failure does not warrant following there 16yr old model of housing first it is by far more costly and more ineffective than the failed shelter system we had before this homes for all model we now are letting absorb all of the allocated budget. The funding is now being absorbed by organizations like as a for instance 100k homes while many of you sing their praise or path achieves, or pathways to housings or common grounds,  know that you do so at The peril of the homeless.
100k homes has sense this past June housed approximately 8000 individuals, and at what cost? the millions of dollars spent in so doing from allocations of federal money and private sector donations has never been discussed in a manner of accountability. ask yourself should we continue to fund a organization who by there own admission are looking to help the most at risk individuals. this is nothing new in this industry, and to continue to fund this or any organizations that believes a less than 19% SUCCESS RATE. Is in an of itself successful.
But I digress I am tired and I have come to care deeply about some of you that really do wish to help people like Me. I only Pray you Wake from your slumber and question their plan and rate of success. and For the others like me there may yet be hope. For me there is none.
