Our Different Worlds!

 

I would Love to sit Here today And write about the pitfalls of homelessness and the Cruel Actions of All those who collect Funding from whatever the source Grants, Government allocation, Kind hearted People Whatever the source!

But as Homelessness is my reality I need to first Go and Collect Some Funding Myself I unlike others, Know only this reality. That They will get their Funding today and they will Drive In cars with Gas that was Paid for in My Name and Take Great Human Interest pictures and video’s and they will tell you to support them And in doing so you support the Homeless. And Most people who have read this Blog will Go On supporting People Like Them in their efforts Pleading again To All of us Just get along and Meanwhile Winter is coming on and I live out Here and will Have to Look the Guy,s In the Eye’s that I know will find little comfort out here in the Rain and wind And won’t even Make it through The Winter. So I would Prefer to Just Say I love you all For fighting Homelessness But you are  Fucktards if you think That Helping the Salvation army St Vincents Or Your Local Missions And Soup lines are Helping the Homeless you are Helping to Maintain their Homelessness Through The profiteers of Homelessness. Because The People Embedded in these Agencies Go Home At Night We Their Charge As our Champions Do Not !!!    So If you still Have your Head in the Sand And Have Never Heard A Damn Word I said In this Blog Go to It.

However If You Have Heard Anything I said And you Are still Out there trying To Help the homeless Than I Love you So Much Give one of the Homies A Hug For Me. If I Ever Figure Out A way To Get This Cricket Android Turned On I’ll Give You All A Call. Its Been A Long Year, Sorry For Not Keeping up With Everyone.

 

 Blessed Art Thou, Lord Our God, Master Of the Universe, Who has not made me a slave.

I Am Become Death, Destroyer Of Worlds. J.Robert Oppenhiemer.

Oppenhiemer  Used this phrase after the Manhattan project succeeded in splitting the atom With the successful trinity nuclear bomb test. Oppenhiemer however was Incorrect because It is Death Itself that is the destroyer of worlds and Not Man. Man play’s a small insignificant Part. At least As I see it.

Death Comes Into everyone’s Life And with it the infinite Possibility Of an end of all things Or the Beginning Of something new I chose to believe in the Later as death Has often effected me  in ways That I cannot express in words, Only to say I go through it and I always perceiver, but that by Choice.

I recently Made A friend, Or Rather was Introduced to and blessed with a friend And they became very close, In the short time we had together,I was able to experience from them an unconditional Love And In their life and Not their Death I was Blessed to be a part of It.

 

My Friend King Lucky Lakota McKenzie succumb to Salmon Poisoning, Appropriately On the McKenzie River In the Southern inland costal region Of Oregon On 5/21/2013. May He Rest In Peace.  ( He Showed Me More Love Than My Own Father) I am A blessed Man.

If I were Sorry I’ld Say It !

If I offended You in My past Post, By calling The Roman Catholic The Whore Of Babylon. I would Like To say I am Sorry, But I am Not. As A Bible believing Christian with nothing but time to read and discern the word Of God the Father and the sword of the spirit, I can Only say that You all in the church need to wake Up and pull your head from the sand!

The world today is plotting against those who would align themselves with the One true God, and His son Jesus Christ. We are on the precipice of the tribulation Period, there Is no Hope in solving the Homeless problem In America and It is a Small problem In compare to the rest of the problems that we are faced with.we all focus on the problems that effect us and forego the problems that face people as a whole, governments around the world have conspired against the Lord Of Host in that they have enslaved their populations and made each and every person on the planet willing to sell there souls in ignorance, For a small amount of creature comforts. food Shelter clothing and the silencing of the children’s cries from Hunger. We The Human race as a whole have been taught to look at others as if their problems are not ours.

There is nothing that could be farther from the truth we all are in the middle of a Game being played by the father of Lies. God Made it clear that Satan Is the ruler of this world, Satan In the wilderness Offered Ye’shua The kingdoms of this world, and This makes it clear to all who would care to listen That These Kingdoms where His To offer. So we ignore the warning that we battle against spiritual Wickedness in High places. And we continue to live our lives as if we as small an insignificant as we are that we can change the world. News flash we can not change the world the best we can hope for is that we don’t let it Change us.

Preachers Like Joel Olsteen, Rev Hinn , Joyce Meyers, Td Jakes, and yes even Billy Graham, Robert Schuller, Perry Stone, Steven Furtick, Perry Nobel and others who Preach This Lie that God Is a God Of prosperity and His people will prosper In this world, Are indeed preaching the World’s (satan’s) Message and Not Gods, God Having come to earth, laying Down His Life For Mankind, Having risen On the third day,and is alive today,was very clear when He said He would Provide Food Shelter and clothing, And these things should For us Be sufficient unto us. And anyone teaching you anything else are teaching you a lie. and one founded By the Father of lie’s The son Of perdition Satan Who was Cast out having believed Himself to be as God. He Deceived Eve in the Garden And He deceives as many as he can today.

There Is Hunger, Poverty, Homelessness, war, Famine, Disease in this world we live in simply because Mankind,refuses to be content with what God Has given Him, and the Gifts He has are not nourished, which have been given to Him. His stewardship Of the Garden He leaves in the hands of those who wish to destroy Him. And He has allowed the world To teach the generations that follow Him In the ways of the rulers of Darkness of this world.

So I can Only say Again Separate yourself from the world, In doing so You can connect yourself To God The Father. Because It is True You cannot serve God And Mammon. And The Kingdom Draws Nigh unto you.

Tribulation Comes For the Church !

 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
  Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
  If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
  Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
  He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
  But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. Ezekial

So Loves Many Forms Does Not Matter,Does Not Matter! I’ll repeat that to be sure That You all understand That It is what I meant To say. Loves Many forms Does Not Matter!  Especially If You Don’t Love enough To Give Others warning of what You Know To Be true. I Love You All, And want for you The Peace Of Knowing that I have!

First you have to Truly believe That You are Nothing without the Blood Of The Lamb And the Power Of your testimony. Myself I realize That Not Only am I nothing But there is Nothing that I can Do for God That will Change who I am And what I am, I am First and foremost a Man Born Into Sin I can Love My Fellow Man And I can seek to serve Him In any small Way that My life Might afford Me too, But it is for nothing With a life devoid Of God And the Understanding of His Will For Me. Or for that matter His will for others.

But what I do for God, Matters Not at all Because The only truth of what matters is What God Did For Me. He came To earth In the Form Of Man as the Only begotten son Of God and Hung on a cross for Me and Nothing else Matters. I can Not Add to that Nor can I subtract from That.

I  find Myself Almost daily being told by some well meaning Fellow believer, that you need to be doing this or that in your life and God Will bless you. That God Began to bless them and change there lives when they started to live in obedience to Him. Or that God wants too give me life more abundantly, things that they have been taught By someone somewhere calling themselves Pastor Or Reverend Or Theological Scholar People with Whom They have entrusted their walk with God Too. Herein as I see it is the Biggest difference In the Life Of Joseph And Them, I trust God And God Alone for The Instruction as to How to live My life, That is not to say That I Listen well to instruction from father Either , I mean Lets face it He gave us an instruction Book With plane and simple truth’s and we can none of us agree on that.

But I will spill It out as I see It, We and when I say We I mean The Church Of God, Are By deception Led astray, Our pulpits are full Of lies and greed and no truth is To be found In the Church as it has become a representative Of Satan and this World, There is No teacher of the truth. Save The Holy Word Of God.

Behold Church The Kingdom Of heaven Is at Hand.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
  Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
  Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
  Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
  With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
  Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
  And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.

This Is the Mystery Church, Jesus Is The Only Way,the only Truth and the Only Life,There is now other Name by which Men Might be saved.

There no Matter what You preachers are teaching you No upcoming pre-tribulation rapture, you will see Tribulation and trials In your Life as the time is at hand. when Jesus Was Asked About these times He responded in the following manner.

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.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
  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. Book of Matthew chapter 24 

 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:   For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
  But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
  And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
  But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
  But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
  And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
  And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
  But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
  And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
  For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
  And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
  And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
  But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
  And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
  And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
  So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
  Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
  But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
  Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
  For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
  Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Mark Chapter 13.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Are You Armored Up Church ? Because The evil Day Is upon Us Church, Your Pastors And teachers Have Taught you many things that are not of God But Of Man,They have taught you too Worship On Sunday,the Day Of the Sungod! They have taught you to bring trees into your house at Christmas,with no thought to the distraction from God Or The warning Of the Prophet That It was an Abomination To God, They have taught you that the Laws and the Prophets are fulfilled and of no consequence, to you in your Life.That the Laws of God Hold no place in Mercy and Grace.They have taught you a lie. Strange that In the Church Gods Laws Hold No Power over His People according to to them save One and that Is that You are slack In your Godly Obedience If you do Not Tithe, God warned These Workers of iniquity Have Robbed Him In tithes and offerings.

Soon All of the world will be celebrating Easter, A day given over to the Goddess Ishtar, By the Great Whore Of Babylon the Roman Catholic Church.I am Not Saying that The Men and women In the Roman Catholic Church Are In Any way Bad People Just Deceived. Our Lord Christ Jesus, Didn’t Keep The Easter Holiday He did However Keep The Feast Of Passover. So shouldn’t we ? Easter is Not some Holy Day as some would have you believe Rather it is a Day of Iniquity. As are The rest Of the Church Holiday’s set Up By the Church In Rome.

Be Not deceived If you are in a Church That is teaching you not to observe the Sabbath, Gods Day Of Rest, But some mans If you are being taught Some strange doctrine that is leading you to believe That If you are obedient To God He will Bless you with the Things Of this World, I say To you Here today Flee, Run And find a Bible and Seek God For the teaching you have been denied By the Pulpits Of iniquity, God Will Bless You In ways Far beyond this World. You may find Yourself with Nothing But You will also Find yourself Having a relationship With The One true God, I am Not telling You all To give It all Away and Follow Jesus, But God Did !!!

These Days Are as the Days Of Noah, Sin Abounds and all eye’s are on The World And not On God, Men judge each other on their worldly blessings and not in Truth and in Spirit, The Church That Is In the World Is not the Church Of God. Run Brothers and Sisters Run Seek God In His Word And Find Peace.

For The Kingdom Of Heaven Draws Neigh Unto You. Do not forsake His Prophets Of Old for thousands of years God Has warned Us. Tribulation Comes For You and for Me. He Who Endures Until the End Shall Be Saved. If your Pastor Is teaching you anything else May They Be Damned. I did not write this To tickle your ears. If it Hurts, pray about it and Ask The Almighty!

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.

  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

A Heroin Lullaby

Cold Wet Misery Finding its way into Your Very Being, Yet Hope In friendship and The comfort Of Your Common Indulgence, Who would Believe That As the Clouds Rolled Back On the Marrow the sun Would Shine But You would Not. Steven And Tim We Love You You where Our Brothers!

                                                                                                   Joseph2dogs

It Is Harder Than Some Might Imagine To Be on the streets and to Make friends Then To watch Them Die to Listen as Others Talk about them as If they where deserving Of such A end. Sad Really That Your Grief Can So easily be turned to anger. I am not angry at the people who read the story and comment on how they where just homeless junkies,and could have got help if they really wanted to or How no one gives a Shit about two men Who died in an abandoned Building. What angers Me is the spirit of apathy That has encompassed the peoples lives who make these comments God Forbid Steve’s Or Tim,s Mothers ever Read the article’s and the comments that followed.

And Thank God when My Time Comes my own mother has passed and will be unable to read them. 

We will Miss You Brothers!

All That Was Left

This Homeless Life, Most People would Never Understand It Never Having Lived It. Hell There are those Who have Lived It and still yet don’t understand it. One Thing is for sure The longer You are Homeless The Less Likely You are to ever adapt to any Life Other than this. Are there struggles,Yes! are there trials,Yes! But To Wake Up and Be In Love with Life itself No Matter where It Has Brought You that Day. Is Unexplainable, Even Harder To explain, Is How It Is Not A Physical Fleshly Life That You Are in Love With.
In The Fleshly Person You Cry out Of Injustice And Oppression, Inequality And Tyranny You cry Out to the creator Of His Heavy Hand Upon You, And Those You care About And Love And Those Suffering More than You can Imagine.
But rather The Love Of The Life That Is in You, Because While You Cry Out You realize That You are eternal Spirit and Separate From The Flesh, You Go On And The World And all That is In it! You Leave Behind. And In that Thought Alone You Find Peace And a refuge, Your suffering No Longer matters What Matters then Is The suffering Of others, And your ability To free them From It.

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
  Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Jesus That’s What I am Talking About, It Is All Finished Get To the Business Of Loving Everyone, Do that and Let the World Go On By itself And He will Pour Out His storehouse Upon You. In His Storehouse are things of the Spirit And not of the World So If you are Being Reigned Upon The Blessings Of this World. Your treasures are not from The Lord’s Storehouse They are what is distracting you, From Love Or Him From Whom All Blessings Flow.I will Love Because After I laid My iniquities Upon Him, Love was all That Was left.

Things Change As Do I

I have Made A decision That Many May think Me Mad To Have Made, For Many reasons The Biggest Being I need To find My inner Peace and My voice which I have Lost in the Past year. As Many Of you Know A year ago I made the decision To Move inside and take a Job that would afford me an opportunity to Change This Homeless Life.
I had many years ago went through the windshield of a car and Broken The vertebras in My neck rupturing two disk. since Taking the Job and moving inside I further aggravated the condition that had plagued Me for years and was forced To apply for social security. As The Dr’s and Pain clinic have recommended That I no Longer work and they have to date not released me to Go to work. And found what I have known for some time that I am physically Disabled. After fighting social security for six months I have been denied social security and had to appeal the decision I now Must wait for 18months for a hearing!
So Change Once again Has Come to this Homeless Life and I have decided I am going Back to what I call Home the Great Outdoors Of Oregon! Not because I no Longer Have a Place to stay Or because I have Not been Blessed By the People Who Have taken Me in. Because I truly Have But To regain The Inner Peace that I knew so Well and the comfort of a life where My daily needs Are Met By the Creator of Us all and My blessings are Measured In simpler Terms.    

And You thought I had Finally Shut Up!

I have For some time remained Silent as I watched others Often Those who Were staunch Critics Continue On. Doing what they have done for Decades and That is Profiting from Homelessness.This statement in itself is why I have often come under fire for sharing with others what I know to be true.
I say there are Many people in the Homeless Help industry who do Just that,and they all profit in a wide variety of ways, Some do so with excessive salaries their Homeless services Organizations paying them and Others in their Organization Six Digit incomes, Others Do so By allowing the service Organization to Pay all of their Living expense Right down to Their Rent and Insurance, Then there are those who spend the vast amount of their time Going from Conference To Conference while the Organization they work for or have created pays for all of their travel expenses there Lavish Living In expensive Motels And there Dining in 3-5 star restaurants.
I am Only writing this today Because Of a conversation that was Had, By A Young woman who I have come to call a friend And one who I believe is willing to defend someone in whom they have never really looked at their motives but rallied to their side simply because they Claimed to be advocating for homelessness. However I believe people are very aware of the truth in what I am about to say, the Homeless are being advocated to Death, (Literally) 
In that conversation The statement was made that You are not an authority on Homelessness Nor is anyone! This rekindled In me a fire that I felt that I had Lost Because Like it or Not After 20+ years of Homelessness I am somewhat of an authority. It is Or has been My blatant Honesty and or My lack of fear in Naming these Profiteers of Homelessness, That has often found me under attack and has at times subjected me too Down right Hateful rants by the supporters of those I have exposed, I do not blame the defenders of these Organizations in most cases because When it comes to Homelessness there are many people who truly want to effect change and cling to anyone and any Program That claims to be able to solve the Problem. and Believe That there is no way people would ever try to Profit from the misfortune of their fellow Man.
This however Is not The reality Of what is Happening in the Homeless services Industry, Almost 2 years ago a few Month’s into a campaign in this country which was geared towards helping eradicate homelessness in three years by helping those most vulnerable in the Homeless population in America, I myself found Conflict with this Program, first and foremost being geared towards helping only a small percentage of the Homeless population it secluded the rest of us. And secondly It was a Reboot of The 10 year plan to end Homelessness, which was a miserable Failure. Thanks to the ease of access to social Media I became a harsh critic of this program and any help services agency that supported it. Since that time I have been ostracized I have been personally attacked Via social Media,and I have been banned from commenting in many major media Publications and a great deal of industry web sites blogs and conversational forums. in essence I have by the Homeless services industry been moderated into non existence.
I however have never changed My stance 100k homes is and has always been a failure in it’s very concept, and any agency that supports it in no way has the Homeless men women and children of this countries best interest at Heart. I have never been taken to task by Becky Kanis, Roseanne Hagerty, Michael Shore,Jake Maguire, Joel John Roberts, Naeh, Path Partners Path Achieve Pathways to Housing Common Grounds Or any other Supporter Or Supportive Agency Of the 100k Homes Campaign. Save One. And His only response to me has always been we have to Change this system from the inside we need to all just get along, I wonder if he even realizes that being on the inside means you are a part of the failed system.
2yrs ago I revealed that this Program had been tried and failed under Common Grounds 10yr Plan to end Homelessness and it would fail again Everyone Refused To listen then An are often today found with there head still in the sand, this program claimed to be the next best chance for the homeless and would house 100,000 homeless people in three years! at that time I told everyone this would never happen it would simply consume the funding needed to effect real change  It to date Has Housed only 17,300 hundred people and it is 2 years into the campaign, and needs to extend the program for two more years to consume more funds!
I proclaimed This would Be the end result, Does that Mean I am Some kind of prophet No But despite Popular belief I am somewhat an authority on Homelessness.  There is an estimated  $68,000 annually allocated per homeless person in this country. and the next year there are still homeless men women and children. I have a Limited education and I have claimed and stand by the claim You give me 2/3 of that One time not year after year and for every allocation of that sum $47,000 and  I can Move a homeless Person from the streets of this country into a sustainable housing environment.   (A Home Of their Own)


And then the Only obstacle with which we would then be faced is to have housing recognized as a Human Right! But I have No Faith That this will ever Happen The Only Faith I have Is In Yesh’ua The King of Kings And Him returning Before we ever stop pouring Money Into the proven Failure that this industry has afforded Us So far. And Until He does I have Faith That There are those that will continue to profit from Homelessness!  

The Chief Of Sinners !

In approximately 40-48AD The apostle Paul Laid Claim In His letter to Timothy While in Macedonia, The following.
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
And Maybe The Claim Was Made rightfully So, Having Held The Cloaks Of Romans while They Had stoned Christians, In His Crusade to Wipe Christianity from the face of the Earth, He himself feeling as If he was Himself above picking up stones to throw,saying to His fellow Romans Here Let Me hold Your Cloak!
What I Have come to learn In My life is that Paul was surely unaware of at the Time of His letter to Timothy is That Approximately 1920 years later In a Small town In central Ohio A Baby would be born who would be able to Steal from Him His title as Chief of sinners and They would Name Me Joseph.
I learned From Paul Many things, The Most important Being, The Above Stated That Christ Came Into The world To save sinners. And
 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
I Know That With Me God Has Daily Had to Be Longsuffering, I Now Live In His Mercy And His Grace. I am Daily weak And He sustains Me in His Strength, I Daily falter and He keeps Me from Falling, I cry Out Jesus Is Lord And He is. He having Been Crucified And Conquering Death was Risen And ascended Unto The Right Hand Of Father, He left Me with A Comforter The Holy Spirit.
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
I simply Proclaim Ye’shua As Lord And In His Mercy El’oHim Has Gifted Me with The Ruach Ha-kodesh when I asked Him For this Gift. It has Made My walk and My relationship Easier In that I now Have this Personal Connection With Father That serves as a Guide stone and Enables me to more clearly see The still yet incomplete work that God is doing in My life, It Is His desire To have Me walk daily Free from The Burdon Of Sin Not Just in My redemption through Christ But In My repentant Heart, I am Not there Completely Yet  But I am Able to daily See the things within Me that would separate me from God, And It Makes Ones Prayer for themselves so Much easier  
He must increase, but I must decrease.
It is my Hope that One Day I Might Wake up and I will Have Just Vanished And He will be all That is Left !

Social Media And The Lack Of Open Discourse!

Today We live in a society Where Man is in touch With People around the Globe Instantaneously. People from every walk of life every culture and every country have available to them The newfound tool of social Media.


Social Media at a Glance Is a fabulous tool and is Praised as being available to all we the citizens of the earth can Come into the social Media Arena and engage in Open debate with our fellow Man or so It is said, However in all of the Platforms we have there is still The obstacle of Moderation within The Media Outlets serving us That are No different Than the Media which Come before them. Msn, Msnbc, fox, CBS,ABC,CNN, Differ In no way,  from The Social Media community.
The reason For this is That Here in this Internet world where we are connected by WiFi, And various other Internet connections, the Simplest Of People can access Media as easily as the most complex. However Those with Apposing views to that Of the Main stream View Are most often Moderated Into Nonexistence.


Speaking from Personal Experience, Main Stream Publications That Offer Platforms for open Debate on a wide range Of subject’s Such As The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times,The Huffington Post, The Boston Globe and others. Have often when Presenting an apposing view to articles written on the subject Of Homelessness and The Homeless service Industry, Reject any criticism of Main stream Thought So One has to ask themselves Is Social Media For All, Or at least I often Ask that Myself.
I Come to Believe Myself That There Is No Ethics In Journalism Be It Main stream Media Or Social Media. Because No Matter The Mannerism Or Eloquence Of speech Or Respect One Might Have In responding to Any Post If It Is diverse From that Of the Author Or publication It will Be moderated Into Oblivion. This Is Not Open Debate This Is Censorship At It’s Finest. 
That is Why The Blog Has become a tool For The Voice of  diversity. People don’t want to Be moderated in their Views everyone on this planet wants to be heard. If You don’t Believe That. Why Has This Happened?

 

Why Because People Truly Want Open Discourse as A whole And were not getting it!

And We Are as a society Rapidly Losing our reasoning skills Because of It.

Yes I Still Care About the Homeless!!!

Yes I do still Love My friends and Family, No I haven't quit caring about Homelessness and I have not stopped Blogging and tweeting, Here is how I spend My day. Notice the Rip-it So I can get in at least an Hour Or two Of life Before this crap knocks me out. And if I am Lucky My friend Greg Staffa takes me with Him On a Drive for another Hour or two Of some kind of quality Of Life                                                                  
I am Now getting scared of Going to the Dr Again Because every time I do He says Here take another Pill Or Take More of these. and I now spend more time at the pharmacy Than I do Going to the store for food!                                                                             
So No I didn't give up on the Homeless Because I am Now Living inside, But after 20yrs on the street, I am Not the model Of health That I thought I was, 20yrs on the streets yes almost did me in. I think God Brought Me Inside Because He knew I wasn’t going to survive to many More winters Outside.

,
The Hardest Thing for Me to Fathom In all of this Is in Compare To some of my Homeless Friends I was The Go to dude as Far as Health I Ate Salads And Chicken as compared to Greasy Burgers I Didn’t drink, always Put something down for me to lay on rather than the ground.So as not to suffer from Pleurisy and Fished and Hunted For food so I ate well Most of the year. But when I went Years without Health Care I am now proof That Crap Doesn’t work.
I caught Myself The Other day Complaining Because I now Have health Care and they want to send me over a hundred miles in One direction To see A pain specialist when there is on 40 miles down the road, What an idiot Am I A year Ago I didn’t have that Blessing I suffered In silence. God Is Good To Me, and Is Now I think Just Fixing things For Me because My fight For the Homeless Has Just Begun He has Brought Me to Realize I wasn’t able to Help the Homeless as well as I could Because I needed Help Myself! So If You Doubt Me Don’t.
I still Believe A 50yr old Homeless Veteran Like Myself Or any other Homeless Person Can Only Get in this Shape Because Of a mis-allocation Of funds Entrusted To Those who claim To Be helping. Need I go through The List Again?
Much Love to All The Supporters Of Myself and This Blog The Naysayers and Those who wish I would Just Shut Up and Go away. Not A Chance I live By Promise And This I have In Him!!!!
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
May It Rest Upon You All Also!

Just Knowing Will Never Effect Change !

I was Asked How Is it You believe That You Know the difference Between a good Homeless services Agency and A Bad One Joseph?
I was Hesitant at first to reply, and I replied In Kind, Facing A question with a Question, Why Would You Ask Me That? you refuse To speak To Me In Public You have Me Blocked On Twitter And You removed yourself from My Facebook account!
I also Explained That answering That was almost Like giving Ammo To someone who keeps Shooting at you. However I feel That Everyone Is entitled To answers To their Questions.
It was almost Comical To Me because I had a conversation just a few days Back with someone as To why I felt Like Faith Based Homeless services Should Like any other Organization Be able to Exclude People who Do Not Meet their requirements. And If those Requirements Be That You Attend A Short Service Before Dinner and A bed Or observe A moment of silence While they Pray than It is as A privately Funded Service Organization Their Choice. That Flies In the Face Of Many But It is Or Has Been A fact For some Number Of Years That Faith Based Programs That Have A requirement  Of Attending Any Service Based On that Faith Are Excluded From Federal Funding and Cannot within Any of their Services Requiring It, Partake Of community Development Block Grants. So why Should They Not Have That freedom Of Choice?
I do However Believe That There are Organizations That Are Out there That Are Good And Bad Both Secular And Faith Based. The Way To Tell The difference Is To Me relatively Simple, One Could Either Live On the streets For decades and Try to Get Them To Help You Or You could Look at what They Say about themselves.
Answer This Question? Do Homeless Service Organizations House People?  In Short NO!  There are many that will tell you they Do, Fact is It Is the Dept of Housing and Urban Development, and The section 8 Vouchering system that Houses the Overwhelming Majority Of Homeless In this Country. The Ones Claiming, We Housed I housed, I house, We House, Are in essence Deceiving People. Most Homeless services Agencies If you Look at their Charters and Guidelines Are simply Referral Agencies. They Refer Homeless To State and federal Agencies That Are already available For the Homeless. The Referral Agencies have received Funding In most cases To Help Homeless Individuals Through The Painstaking Application Process. In doing so They are as deceptive as The Counter man at McDonalds if Asking Him What He does For a Living He replies I feed The Hungry! These Are Bad Agencies and Cost ineffective.
Then There are Good agencies and They Do Not Claim We do This Or that They tell you right Up front I am Sorry we are simply a referral Agency. and They do Not Look for Praise. They more often than Not Share with People How they Were blessed To have assisted someone In meeting the right People to Get into Housing, and The generally Talk about How It was a Humbling experience, And They Were Grateful To have Helped.
But the True separation Is the former feel the Homeless Are Lucky To have them to Help, while the Latter feel as If they Were Lucky to have Been able to Help.  Look the Only Point I am Trying to Make is that, Bad Homeless services Agencies Are sucking the Life out of the Homeless and The good ones are struggling to survive Just like the Homeless themselves. Only the Good Ones Aren’t Begging For funding, And The Bad ones will tell you Your better off to Give to Us Than too the Homeless themselves!
What I find Even More Comical Is this After writing About This For Well over a year Now, People Still Just Blindly Follow And Praise These Organizations That Have Failed Us For so Long Believing That They Must be doing Good They say So in their Pamphlets, and their News Letter. Why I even seen Them Tweet How Much Good They Do So It Must Be True.  And People never Bother Too actually Find Out what they do and where their Funding Goes.
The Only Up side Is, That I have also Watched Over the Last year as Some people Have woke Up and Began To question Organizational Failure.
However Knowing It will Never effect Change If in than Knowing You remain Silent!

Standing On What You Believe

We Today Live In a World Where There is In the Minds Of Most Much Confusion about the World Around them and we often Stand divided even within Ourselves as  To where or what we should stand for. For everyone this is a personal Tragedy Or Triumph depending Upon that person And their personal experience.
I can only speak For Myself and This coming from an examination of My beliefs and My personal experience But believe Me when I tell You I by way Of a Post and the Following conversation I had On facebook In this last 24hrs had much soul searching to do and I know that If only true to me I must stand On what I know the Lord has revealed To me as Being True It is Not something I would Debate Or ask that others To Just Blindly Follow But to ask God To reveal To them That truth which Can Only come from Him.

 

The Above Post was Shared to My Page By someone I have come to enjoy having Our facebook interactions with and am often enlightened and blessed By many of Their Post and Observations. I was Personally effected By this Post and also Deeply Troubled And at that I left the Following reply.

Ok I am Confused One Gives Love And Life And the Other Brings Only Death And Misery, If You Are Using The One That Brings Life For More Than A dust Collector, You would Know The other Comes from A different spirit, One That seeks to separate Mankind, From The Spirit Bound in The Truth Of The Other. I am so sorry For the Lengthy Reply I am Just So confused But I bet If Every American Dusted Of the One and Learned How To use It Daily, We could Move all Of Mankind To Lay Down The Other.


This My Post was Left Shortly After the Shared Post was Left, and immediately,when I seen the Image I knew it was Not Myself But the Spirit Within Me that Cried Out, This Is just so wrong. I believe The confusion That I faced was the turmoil  Between offending a friend Or Standing for what I myself truly Believed. I received No response At first and To Myself Early this Morning I thought Boy Now you’ve done It! and I was troubled, However Later I received a response Telling Me I had Made them Think and That I was Right. Little do they Know I was Not In any way right, and Had anguished over opening My big Mouth Again. This Time However I believe Was For The reason, That I was Open to follow that still small voice of the Spirit In which I heeded. I Often In My life Fail At this I know what is Right , And I do what Is right For Joseph And Not What Is right.


But in This I was taught A valuable Lesson and That Being that we as A Church, And By Church I mean Everyone Man Woman And Child That Cries Out Jesus Is Lord,  Often fail In Our role Of society Because We often Do not seek the Spirit In matters Of simplicity Or of Grave Importance, And Most often Seek That which Is right for Us.
The Above Image Which Triggered This Post was In it’s Original Form Conceived By I am Sure a Brother Or Sister In Christ Living In the Same Turmoil with Which we all Gods Children Struggle With Everyday.  And I ask That they Be blessed. But I ask Of what Strange Spirit was It Conceived,  And How were They so easily Deceived, Knowing That It Can and Has Happened as easily To Me.


And  To Others I must Point Out That It is Most worldly And appalling to God The Creator And We Deny The Very Spirit Of Christ In the representation Of Him In any Form But That Of Love And self Sacrifice. We Must Cling To That which Is Good And Yes He Even Says Hate And deplore That Which Is Evil And Not to call That Which Is Evil Good, Nor That Which Is Good Evil. So To Compare That Which Gives Life His Word To That which Gives Death A Firearm And Portray Them as Equal In Value Is Not Of God.


Be Thankful Though Church Because These Are the Strong Delusions Of which His Word Warned Us Against And Be Full Of Mercy And Hope because These Things Being accepted as Part of the Norm, He Must Truly Be near.


And I thank Him Mostly For His Mercy And Grace, Because I look Behind Me I have Had Failures Greater Than This, But I do Know It is Not Counted Unto Me Because Christ Jesus Paid The Price.   

A unique Alternative in Combating Poverty

“instead of spending billions building affordable housing lets spend billions building up people to be able to afford housing”
                                                Joseph Wilson
This is How I arrived at this Train Of thought!
What they are not telling you, is this the number of homeless people in America is dropping and not rising. In the minds of most people it is a problem that is increasing with each and every day. However this is not something that is based on fact but rather based on fear.
There is A reason For there Being Not an increase but rather a decrease In The Homeless population, And That Can be contributed To HPRP (Or American Recovery And reinvestment Act)  the rapid rehousing Program, In the Height of The economic decline and The recent Hit to the Housing Market And failing banks, Rapid rehousing was instituted so Others who recently Defaulted on their Mortgages didn’t face The inhumanity of becoming Part of America’s Homeless population and were spared this Indignity By this Program by going from Foreclosure To Section 8 homes. In most cases.

Hud Releases 2011 Point in time Count.
 This afternoon, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the results of the January 2011 point-in-time count. According to their report, 636,017 people were homeless in the United States on a single night in January. This represents a 2.1 percent decline from the year before. Earlier this morning, HUD and the Department of Veterans Affairs announced a 12 percent decline in the number of veterans experiencing homelessness. The number of veterans experiencing homelessness decreased from 76,329 homeless veterans to 67,495 homeless veterans between January 2010 and January 2011.
According to press releases, these declines are largely attributed to federal programs providing housing to homeless people and families, including the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program and the HUD-VA Supportive Housing Program.
While  Stalling The Increase In the Homeless Population at Large It in No way Fixed the Problem. It did However Keep The Population From Growing. I contend That we no Longer Need affordable Housing and It’s Time Has Long Ago Come and Gone and was from The very  Beginning, An Ill Conceived Plan In combating Homelessness and Poverty.so Lets Look at Affordable Housing while asking Ourselves.
1.Is It Affordable?   And   2. Is It sustainable?
Affordable Housing In the Minds Of Most people Is as Follows A dwelling That one could afford, while receiving The Federal Minimum wage. Poverty Level Is Deemed as being $10,980 for a single Adult and $3,820 for each additional family Member, This Is The Federal poverty level and varies To a degree from state to state. as does Housing Cost However when Organizations Talk of affordable Housing what They are talking about Is Federally subsidized Housing, those accepting Low income and section 8 vouchering. This Is what I am asking Is federally subsidized Housing affordable? In Short No would Be My answer.
This Because It comes at 2 High A cost and In that, It Eliminates A vast Majority of Homeless and Impoverished Individuals. Because one Must first have an income to qualify For Housing. And Often That income Must exceed federal poverty Levels Or you must Qualify for section 8 subsidies. and the cost to the American Tax payer Is on a national Average $160,000 per unit to build without cost overruns and then it through section 8 vouchering, cost an average of  $9,000- $16,000 annually to sustain depending on the size of the family and the part of the country You are in. People often do not understand this and say that is Not right These people are low income and only pay $130 a month for rent or whatever their income requires them to pay. and this is true what They overlook is that the balance of the rent they pay ( Local Market Pricing) What They would Charge the Average Well funded Individual For rent, Is covered By the American Tax payer In the Vouchering Subsidies Programs.
So If you Really Look At it, It Becomes clear That we Can No Longer Afford Affordable Housing. In a country Where Banks and Corporations are given Billions In bail out Money and corporations Disguising Themselves as Public Housing Authorities, Continue To accept Federal subsidies For the same families That the Banks, Foreclosed On who were Once Buying these Vacant Homes All over our Countries. So I said What I did Because I believe It to Be true.
  “instead of spending billions building affordable housing lets spend billions building up people to be able to afford housing”
We have enough Vacant Homes In this Country, So To advocate The Building Of More and and Making them affordable Is simply stated Insanity why Don’t We Just spend the Billions allocated To Building More Affordable Housing.To Building Up the Lives Of The Impoverished, UnHoused (Homeless) Marginally Housed. People Struggling to Survive Too A point of Being able to afford the Homes We already Have Being Held Hostage By the Banks And Corporations Who have run this country Into The Ground.
Change Of the System Will Never Happen Until We see That The system Has truly Failed. It’s Not about People Not Having a House Or a Home There Are Empty Homes Everywhere You Look, It’s Just That Some People Can’t Afford To Have One!
So Lets Start Looking at the People aspect, So we don’t continue to Fail, Because Believe It Or Not Housing And Food Are A Basic Human Right.
*Facts and Figures In the Above Post Came from HUD.GOV and HHS.Gov and are From 2011 Reports made available From Jan 2012-March2012.
**These Housing Numbers are accurate and Current and are Often Over inflated By organizations and Individuals For effect some even Stating Homeless #’s as High as 7million at the same time praising themselves for being part of the PIT count. this Post represents accurate Numbers from that point in time count.
