JoeH, did you post pics of that house to the forum at one time? That story sounds very familiar to me.
You mention that sometimes people end up on the street and it allows me to segue into a little parental story telling. I am a strong supporter of our local mission and I want my kids to grow up understanding how important of a job the mission performs. So I took my eight year old daughter to tour the local facility with the ceo in the lead. In the end I had my daughter write a report on what she had learned and her teacher asked her to read it in front of her class. You can imagine my pride. I read the report later and notice she talks about how the mission feeds people who walk around on the streets. That little tidbit came from the ceo of the mission when he told us they feed the "streetwalkers." She came up with her own interpretation of that!
