The sermon this week was about Jesus giving his peace to his disciples and that it meant for us to live in peace until he returned. Peace toward our neighbors and even our enemies. What a world it would be if that were to happen.  I also continued to read the Old Testament and Micah was prophesying that the Kings and leaders of the Temple were complicit in Idol worship even though they went through the processes of worship. They had traded God for greed and power. So the sermon you won't hear is about our Church leaders and our country's' leaders

     Some time ago I wrote a blog about whom the homeless were and how we are treating them. Since then there numbers have grown all over the country including my city. A little background about this issue is that I am and have been for 17 years on the board of a free medical clinic that treats those that have no insurance or Medicade patients that have no where else to go. About 10% of the homeless population are clients that we treat along with many of the legal aliens here for the university that are not eligible for Obama Care. For the last 3 years the city of Morgantown has been trying to get us to move our facilities out of the city as they believe the homeless will follow. They have succeeded in getting the Salvation Army to move their food kitchen which feed many of the homeless and also the United Way food pantry along with sleeping facilities for the homeless. We are the last holdouts but not for long. The city has offered $800.000 for us to buy another building out of the city and move from the present location in the city. We would have to agree to also move our Friendship House out of the city which is a place for people to receive aid in rehabilitation from drug and alcohol use. The money is coming from their Covid relief funds. There is no money for our operating costs which are derived from donations, the state, county and grants. Much of our care is given by volunteers.
