In the Twenty-First Century we are seeing many individuals/families displaced with the wide spread of wars and dramatic weather changes. As heart wrenchingly tragic this is there is even a more devastating disaster that is at the forefront of homelessness, rejection. Every country has their homeless the ones that are shunned and invisible to the naked eye. The ones who are side step or walked over and we know them well perhaps they are our mothers, fathers, relatives and friends. We seemingly cannot make room in our lives to help them. This we feel causes a disruption in our lives that we are unwilling to endure. The felt distain refrains one from asking for help because the facts are eminently clear. Rejection is demoralizing and it crushes the mind, body and spirit and yet the homeless of our lives are just that homeless. If we say we are Christians are we not called to be Good Samaritans? Are we not called to help the homeless (read the Psalms)? If we claim we are Christi

The horrific violation of one’s person is the action of rape. It is without a doubt the single action that not only effects the body but the heart and soul of the one being violated. It is difficult even now to understand the actions, mind set and the heart of one whom commits the heinous act of violating another’s body. Although these persons are human one cannot see them but as animals dark in nature without redemption and yet we are mandated from our Lord to forgive…MARK 11:25 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” However, it well to note here we are forgiven by our Lord when we ask for forgiveness with a repentant and contrite heart as should the rapist seek this same road of forgiveness towards those whom have been violated. Rape is not an easy course of securing justice for the violator. Often times the history of the life of the violated is so scrutinized it leaves one to wo

The unknown causes concern, tension and worry, which can lead to panic, vigilantism, and separatism. Ebola is on its way down this slippery slope as was the first encounter with Aids. The world as a whole fails to help Africa readily until the disaster reaching their front door is eminent. Africa is a prime example of slow help especially since most of it hold no interest that is worth the risk or fight. The value of a black African life has little or no value in the eyes of most of the world especially in those who hold sway over African Government whom themselves are black. Ebola has been around as near as I can tell since 1976 with major out breaks in 2002 and 2003 and now here we are in 2014 no closer to understanding this disease that now plagues West Africa. The case to argue is why and the reasons may hinge in part on what I already mentioned. I cannot understand why the UN and other Western Countries will not set up temporary shelter as seen for refugees for clinics to
